Living in the Kingdom of God

This brief, accessible book offers a unique approach to the theme of the
kingdom of God and to biblical theology. Sigurd Grindheim explains the whole
Bible's teaching on the kingdom of God, discussing its implications for the
Christian, the church, and politics. As he traces the theme of the kingdom
through the Old and New Testaments, he shows how Jesus's preaching of the
imminent incursion of the kingdom fulfilled and also challenged the messianic
expectations of the antecedent Judaism. He explains that the theme of the
kingdom is the unifying theme of Scripture and that any account of the theology
of the Bible must begin and end with the coming of the kingdom.
Living in the Kingdom of God shows what it means that God rules on earth, how
his rule is established through the work of Christ, and how this rule is
embodied by the church today, offering a new vision for the church's role in
the kingdom: putting God's gifts to work. It will appeal to professors and
students of the New Testament, biblical theology, and systematic theology as
well as pastors.
