The Kingdom of God-Volume 1: The Future Breaks In

Jesus' main message was "the Kingdom of God." This should get our attention. We use the phrase, but do we use it like he did? Is it at the center of what we preach and teach? More importantly, is it at the center of the way we live? After two years of careful study, teaching, and self-examination, Tom Jones and Steve Brown offer this as the first volume in a proposed three-volume series to show that the heart of Christian radicalness is found in Jesus' subversive message of the Kingdom. If you want to keep your Christian reflexes-shaped more by history and tradition than by Jesus-this book will give you a headache. But if you want to study an amazing and transforming overlap of the coming age and our present age, and see what new wave of the Kingdom could arrive today, this should be your next read.
