world. Yet there hasn't been a comprehensive overview of biblical prophecy and eschatology for
more than five decades. Western theology, liturgy, and ecclesial structures and practice, were formed
in a time when the church did not understand her missionary nature. A plethora of books on
missional ecclesiology has appeared in the last couple of decades. But the people of Israel continually
failed in their task, failed to be the exemplary community that God intended, because the old world
still ruled their hearts. Defining kingdom as the King’s power over the King’s people in the King’s
place, Patrick Schreiner investigates the key events, prophecies, and passages of Scripture that
highlight the important theme of kingdom across the storyline of the Bible?helping readers see how
the mission of Jesus and the coming of the kingdom fit together. The word mission has engaged
Christians today because it challenges the church to take up this role and leave behind its self-
interested preoccupation and its sinful accommodation to its cultural story. If Christians want to
speak with a fresh, engaging and constructive voice within our culture, we need to press deeper into
the core truths of the Bible. Now, Christians can rely on his wisdom to guide them through each day
of their lives with this thoughtful book of daily meditations, featuring short selections from his
classic works. Goheen is Geneva Professor of Worldview and Religious Studies at Trinity Western
University. The entire Bible is generated by and is all about God's mission. And the parade of bogus
secular messiahs during the last few centuries—science, technology, education, liberal politics, and
free-market economics among them—have failed to deliver the golden world promised in the
eighteenth century. 2 Thus many people in our world have stopped dreaming of or hoping for a better
world, in spite of Lennon’s urging them not to give up— it’s easy if you try. This article is more than
just academic reflection. In Jesus, God is the missionary par excellence, and in the Holy Spirit, God

with an application of the biblical notion of idolatry to the challenges of contemporary life. In this
engaging book, the authors share their vision of God working in his world and in his people, as he
labours to shape them into the great kingdom that has been his plan from the beginning. These early
Christians understood themselves to be different from others in their culture, and lived together as
an alternative community nourished by an alternative story—the story of the Bible—that was
impressed on catechumens in the process of catechism.11 The entire catechetical process had this
pastoral purpose: to empower a distinctive people shaped by the story of the Bible.12 The community
thus shaped by Scripture was an attractive sign of the kingdom in the midst of the Roman Empire.

reflection is sandwiched between a historical analysis of the cultural roots of the contemporary
church and a challenging conclusion as to how a church today can be truly missional and biblical.
With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide listeners through some of the traditional,
tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. If we do not develop our self-understanding in
terms of the role that we have been called to play in the biblical drama, we will find ourselves shaped
by the idolatrous story of the dominant culture. To promote the possibility of “Christian philosophy”
is also to comment on this “and” which in the end is understood as that “love” which defines
philosophy as the “love of wisdom” (and finally, the wisdom of love). Attending to a (Christian)
philosophical reflection on (Christian) philosophy offers further elaborations of inherited doctrines,
both Christian and philosophical, including a way to read and think unique to the outcome.

what has been said by biblical scholars and theologians throughout church history as well as current

few essential insights into the Bible can clear up a lot of misconceptions and help you grasp the
meaning of Scripture and its application to your 21st-century life. Ecclesiology has an important role
to play in the recovery of this role and identity: When we, the church, are confused about who we
are and whose we are, we can become anything and anyone’s. 3 Ecclesiology is about understanding
our identity, who we are, and why God has chosen us— whose we are. This community of which
Lennon sees himself a part is a come-and-join-us people who, by their words and lives, offer an
attractive alternative to the violent, greedy, self-centered culture dominant in their day. Perhaps the
most important of these developments was the dramatic growth (in numbers of people, vitality, and
missionary vision) of the third world church and a corresponding decline of the church in the West.
Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the
Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and
kingdom. Today in the post-colonial period this dynamic is becoming increasingly evident. The entire
Bible is generated by and is all about God's mission. The aim is to raise awareness about how
widespread the epidemic of sexual harassment and assault are. Yet speaking to and dialoguing with
pastors about this material has kept me from spinning out a theology that doesn’t touch the ground.

the world and existing not for itself but to bring good news to the world. This book will equip you

background shape this book. The reader has a right to know the context out of which this book
emerges. In seventeenth-century Europe, the long and costly wars between rival factions within the
Christian church seemed to many to prove already that the church had nothing further to offer to a
modern world: Christianity seemed to forfeit its opportunity to bring peace, justice, and social
harmony. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept
from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation
and kingdom. In the years since, the continuing violence of those who identify their causes by the
religions they espouse—the violence evident in terrorism, genocide, and other such
atrocities—presents a compelling argument that our world should not look for hope in the direction
of traditional religious faith. A brief return to our history may shed light on this question. Cross-
cultural missionaries of the past few centuries were sent with a task that was primarily not for
themselves but for the sake of those to whom they were sent.
