The Kingdom of God
Author: Christopher W. Morgan
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433523582
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
The kingdom of God is a very large biblical category indeed. Accordingly, a comprehensive understanding of the kingdom would illuminate many aspects of theology. With this in mind, Bruce Waltke, Robert Yarbrough, Gerald Bray, Clinton Arnold, Gregg Allison, Stephen Nichols, and Anthony Bradley have collaborated to articulate a full view of the kingdom of God across multiple disciplines. One of the most important books on the kingdom since G. E. Ladd, this volume offers a robust theology and is corroborated by the very series in which it stands. Fourth in the noted Theology in Community series, The Kingdom of God establishes the significance of the kingdom from the perspectives of biblical theology, systematic theology, history, pastoral application, missiology, and cultural analysis. Part of the Theology in Community series.

Establishing the Kingdom of God

ISBN: 1430304634
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
What is a kingdom? What are the qualities of a kingdom? What makes up a kingdom? These are questions we westerners raise because we were never a part of a kingdom. The definition of a kingdom is "the territory or country subject to a king; an undivided territory under the dominion of a king or monarch." In other words, its king determines the qualities, characteristics, and nature of a kingdom. Those that dwell in that territory must have an understanding that it is the king that determines their way of thinking and living.We don't understand these qualities or characteristics that make up a kingdom. And because we don't fully understand it's difficult to get the full revelation of the kingdom of God. Jesus says that it is our heavenly Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. But to receive the kingdom we must recognize and understand the king so we can receive the kingdom.

The Kingdom of God and the Glory of the Cross
Author: Patrick Schreiner
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433558262
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” —Matthew 13:31–32 When Jesus began his ministry, he announced that the kingdom of God was at hand. But many modern-day Christians don’t really understand what the kingdom of God is or how it relates to the message of the gospel. Defining kingdom as the King’s power over the King’s people in the King’s place, Patrick Schreiner investigates the key events, prophecies, and passages of Scripture that highlight the important theme of kingdom across the storyline of the Bible—helping readers see how the mission of Jesus and the coming of the kingdom fit together. Part of the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series.
