The Kingdom of God: Preached by Jesus...Forgotten by Us

The Kingdom of God: Preached by Jesus...Forgotten by Us

The kingdom of God was the prevalent theme of Jesusâ€™ teaching and that of the apostles. And yet, it is not the prevalent theme of American Christianity. For many Christians, it is not even a strong concept. Why is that? And what are the implications of this conceptual deficiency? Wayne Barrettâ€™s book is a call for renewal of kingdom thinking and kingdom living among Christâ€™s peopleâ€”particularly those in America. He advocates for Christian living that is informed by a worldview of two kingdoms: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world. Topics include: What is the kingdom of God? Who is in it and who is excluded? How should the kingdom of God advance, and what does that advancement look like? How does a Christian discover his or her role in Godâ€™s kingdom? Barrett also discusses how a Christianâ€™s own â€œscript,â€ relating to how one should live or even relating to oneâ€™s church involvement, can prevent him or her from functioning as a kingdom citizen. The book is both a challenge and an appeal to American Christians to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
