Empire of the Risen Son

This book (and its companion volume) presents the teaching of scripture about the kingdom of God. The book proceeds on the assumption that most readers do not already have a clear concept associated with that term. The book surveys a variety of viewpoints about the kingdom before providing a definition and exposition on what Jesus meant by the use of that term. This book provides a thorough analysis of the kingdom's significance in world history and in our time. It prepares the way for the second book on the topic, which is a practical guide to living in the reality of the kingdom.
