The Doctrine of the Kingdom of God

One doctrine which tops the list of "most misunderstood or not understood" is that of the kingdom of God. Just ask the average believer for a description of the kingdom of God, and this will become quite clear. Carl Widrig has taken up the difficult task of filling the doctrinal vacuum surrounding the kingdom of God in the Church today. He has provided a comprehensive explanation of the kingdom of God which spans the entire counsel of God. He has not followed the path of some predecessors and simply plucked a few passages to support a surface discussion on the topic. This work traces the doctrine of the kingdom of God from the basic meaning of "kingdom" through the Old Testament, the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus, and the New Testament in establishing a clear and coherent view of the kingdom of God. He also provides a desperately needed counter to the views of George Eldon Ladd which have come to dominate many in evangelicalism. His refutations of popular ideas of the kingdom of God display a solid grasp of both reason and Scripture, so that there is little room left for contrary views to stand.
