About this audiobook
The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Kingdom of God: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.
What does the Bible say about God's Kingdom and what Kingdom living looks like?
In the last hundred and fifty years the concept of the kingdom of God has emerged as one of the most important topics in theology, New Testament studies, and the life of the church.
In The Kingdom of God, Nicholas Perrin explores this dominant biblical metaphor, one that is paradoxically the meta-center and the mystery in Jesus' proclamation. After survey interpretations by figures from Ritschl to N. T. Wright, Perrin examines questions such as:
- What exactly is the kingdom of God?
- What do different Christian traditions mean when they talk about “the Kingdom”?
- How should we interpret Jesus’ teachings about the Kingdom?
- What does it mean for the people of God and what does it mean for how they live in the world?
Perrin contends that the kingdom is inaugurated in Jesus' earthly ministry, but its final development awaits later events in history. In between the times, however, the people of God are called to participate in the reign of God by living out the distinctly kingdom-ethic through hope, forgiveness, love, and prayer.
____________
Part of the Biblical Theology for Life series, this practical and robust audiobook will help you ground your understanding of the Kingdom of God on the solid foundation of biblical exegesis and reflection.
