Jesus and the Kingdom of God

Description

'The sheer breadth of the author's inquiry forces the reader to integrate concepts about Jesus' teaching on the Kingdom and how it relates to both his ministry and his later followers. In the end there is nothing quite like this book ... Jesus and the Kingdom of God deserves to be read, weighed, and included in the library of both scholars and interested lay persons.' Books and Religion 'This important book will be appreciated by anyone interested in the perennial problem of understanding the message of Jesus... It is a masterful compendium that will have a lasting influence.' Theology Today 'Beasley-Murray assesses a broad range of current scholarship including the pivotal works of such people as Rudolf Bultmann and Joachim Jeremias. The detailed notes and extensive bibliography enhance the value of this exhaustive study.' Choice 'This very welcome study presents the quintessence of Dr Beasley-Murray's mature thinking on a subject which has engaged his attention for many years ... What we have in this work is an exegetical treasure-house.' F.F. Bruce 'This challenging work will have to be weighed and discussed by all who are seriously interested in these crucial theological issues.' Raymond E. Brown
