The Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God

by John Bright

This book traces the history of the biblical idea of the Kingdom of God and suggests its contemporary relevance. “To grasp what is meant by the Kingdom of God is to come very close to the heart of the Bible’s gospel of salvation.”—from the Preface

'This is one of the most satisfactory books on biblical theology to appear recently in America...It is a work of first-class scholarship which could only have been written by one thoroughly coversant with the modern debate about the Bible...A passionate appeal to the Church to be the Church...A book which should be red and pondered by all theologians and ministers.' --Theology Today
