The Majesty on High: Introduction to the Kingdom of God in the New Testament
The kingdom of God is not an isolated theme or topic in the Bible but its central reality and therefore the center of all creation. In fact, the kingdom of God which the Lord Jesus put into place permanently at his first coming is nothing less than the new creation, the new heavens and new earth. Designed for the non-specialist, this book introduces the reader to the kingdom of God and to its foundational issues. Most chapters provide careful study of one passage of the New Testament in order to dig deeply into the bedrock of Scripture where one's faith must be grounded. The reader will come away with greater clarity on what the kingdom is and on how to read the Scriptures in its light as the great, unifying reality of the Bible and of eternal life itself. Includes study questions at the end of each chapter making the book appropriate for group Bible studies and classes.
