The Message of the Kingdom of God by T Desmond Alexander
Explore a central biblical theme in this accessible exposition of the kingdom of God
‘Tracing the story of God’s kingdom from the words "in the beginning" to the last and great "Amen", Alexander serves as a faithful guide in this work of biblical theologyAlong the way, we learn how the kingdom of God has progressively revealed itself through the course of redemptive history to the bright future of its fulfilment, all the while centred on the king.’ * Matthew Boswell, hymn writer and Assistant Professor of Church Music and Worship, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary *
‘Kings and kingdoms can seem to be merely the fodder of fairy tales for some, while for myriad others, especially those who have lived under cruel kings in corrupt kingdoms, kings and kingdoms are seen primarily as perpetrators of oppression and violence. This is why we need the story the Bible presents to us, and which Desi Alexander has so capably expounded on for us in The Message of the Kingdom of God. This book connects all of the biblical dots for us, so that we can see not only how God is answering our prayers for his kingdom of justice and righteousness to come, but also the beauty of the king who has come and will come again.’ * Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher and author of Even Better Than Eden: Nine Ways the Bible’s Story Changes Everything About Your Story *
