Kingdom

Is the Kingdom of God Here?

January 15, 2020 by wagraham 2 Comments

Over the last few hundred years, Christians have debated the nature and timing of the kingdom of God. Some argued that Jesus was a failed prophet since the kingdom did not come as he expected. Others argued that the kingdom was delayed due to Israel’s rejection of Jesus. Still others found ways to understand the kingdom apart from either extreme. 

From an historical angle, the debate is fascinating since it did not seem to greatly disturb earlier Christians. For example, John Scotus Eriugena (9th ce.) maintained the presence of the kingdom now yet with its full manifestation appearing at a later time. 

I think we can be even more precise than John Eriugena since Scripture speaks on this matter.

Book Notice: Michael Vlach’s Biblical Theology of the Kingdom

Michael Vlach is a professor of theology at the Master’s Seminary, and he is publishing a 640 work on the theme of the kingdom in the Bible. His argument is “that the kingdom of God is the theme of Scripture and thus a proper understanding of the kingdom means that one is properly grasping the Bible’s storyline.”

Uniquely, Vlach rights from a dispensational perspective, making this the only recent dispensational work of Biblical Theology that I know of. Read his blog announcement for more information, and go to the publisher’s website to read a 38 page preview of the work.
