What is the Kingdom of God? What does it mean to be part of the
kingdom? These are questions that should occupy the mind of every
Christian. But we frequently shy away from the full meaning of
God's rule.In Christian Archy, Dr. David Alan Black examines the
New Testament to find the truly radical and all-encompassing claims
of God's kingdom. In doing so, he discovers that the character of
this kingdom is widely different from what is commonly contemplated
today. Its glory is revealed only through suffering - a point that
Jesus' disciples, then and now, have been slow to understand. This
truth has tremendous implications for church life. The kingdom of
God is in no way imperialistic. It has no political ambitions. It
conquers not by force but by love. It is this humble characteristic
of the kingdom that is a stumbling block to so many today. Christ's
claim to our total allegiance is one we seek to avoid at all costs.
But there is only one way to victory and peace, and that way is the
way of the Lamb.This is the first volume in the new Areopagus
Critical Christian Issues Series from Energion Publications. We
believe it is an appropriate way to begin that series by addressing
this foundational question of who we are as part of the Christian
church, and why it is important for us to immerse ourselves in
God's word.
