Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Jimmy on May 15, 2023

This book sneaks up on you. At first, you will think Mr. Perrin is not coming at his subject head on, but more a coming in from the side. You will be gaining incredibly interesting information as you go, but it may be nearing the end, at least if you are like me, before you realize that he has reall......more

Goodreads review by Spencer on November 12, 2021

(Read the full review on my blog SpoiledMilks, 12/15/20) What is the kingdom of God? Who will be included? What does it encompass? When will it come? Is it already here? How do we know? Does it have any practical impact on our lives right now? Nicholas Perrin's new volume on the kingdom of God in the......more

Goodreads review by Will on January 08, 2022

Maybe three and a half. It felt as if the author was stuck between complex theological argument and pop-level "I need a funny story" in the writing style. It just didn't work. The overall content was helpful, but this is a book written by an academic trying not to sound academic.......more

Goodreads review by Stuart on May 19, 2019

I would rate Perrin’s book 3 out of 5. The content he has is good, but I feel that this book as a Biblical theology suffers from a narrow focus on a few Biblical passages. It results in a truncated view of God’s kingdom. What Perrin does well is to draw out the continuity between the Old Testament b......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on December 20, 2023

An enjoyable read, with a bit of humor, that explains the Kingdom of God in precise ways. I am pleased that “A Biblical Theology” was not simply a tagline but the actual standpoint of the book : focused on the Bible and the claims of Christ and scripture, rather than simply rehashing the history of......more
