An excellent book

In the line of the great scholars like Joaquin Jeremias an Charles Dodd, Beasley and Murray have developed a profound biblical approach for the usually misunderstood theme of the Kingdom of God. Their systematical approach to the issue gives a clear insight as soon you as you read the table of contents. Somebody who has never been in contact with this kind of approach to the theme of the kingdom may feel himself unconfortable with the reading at first, but the clarity of the biblical exegesis will challenge the reader to go ahead to discover a new paradigm about the central message of Jesus: The Kingdom of God. The material is so good that I learned even from the abundant "notes to the pages" at the end of the book, a lot of them are even highlighted by my hand. I recomend this book to anyone who seriously wants to understand Jesus and His relation to the Kingdom.
