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 Biblical Theology for Life series aims to answer the "So what?" question. You've told me what the bible says. Now what do I do? The volumes are all structured in the same way.Ã?
1. Queuing the Questions
2. Arriving at Answers
3. Reflecting on Relevance�
In Chapter 1 (Queuing the Questions), Perrin puts forth three popular models on where God's kingdom is. Is it (1) in our heart, (2) a social renewal, the church, or a new religion, or (3) eternal future bliss? Perrin wants us to ask something akin to this question instead: "What is the connection between the kingdom of our Father in heaven and what we are doing on earth?" (27). He intends to answer the following six questions in the next section, Arriving at Answers:
1. What is the kingdom? (chs 2-4)
2. Who is involved in initiating the kingdom?Ã? (chs 5-7)
3. When did the kingdom arrive? (chs 8-10)
4. Where does the kingdom extend? (chs 8-10)
5. Why do we have a kingdom? (ch 11)
6. How does the kingdom function? (ch 11)
In Reflecting on Relevance (ch 12), Perrin reminds us that we exist to worship God (238). The coming kingdom is a "re-creation of Edenic conditions leading to human flourishing" as we live in God's presence without sin, suffering, and death (238). The kingdom is both here and still coming. Christians are filled by the Spirit and are called to a variety of tasks. Three things Jesus did to indicate the kingdom had come was exorcism, healing, and proclamation. We do not propel God's kingdom nor move it forward. God does it, and it is his business. We resist the powers and sin. We obey Christ, even when mocked and persecuted. We do it even to the point of death.Ã?
This is a hefty book with many biblical references, but Perrin does a good job helping balance it out by providing good illustrations and by writing clearly.
Recommended?
This is an excellent book on the kingdom of God. This would be the first one I recommend if you are academically-oriented.
