The Kingdom Of God: Biblically And Historically Considered

by James S. Candlish

Book Overview

The Kingdom of God: Biblically and Historically Considered by James Stuart Candlish is a comprehensive study of the concept of the Kingdom of God as it is presented in the Bible and understood throughout history. The book is divided into three main sections: the biblical foundation of the Kingdom of God, the historical development of the Kingdom of God, and the practical implications of the Kingdom of God for contemporary Christian life.In the first section, Candlish explores the biblical roots of the Kingdom of God, examining the Old Testament prophecies that anticipate its coming and the New Testament teachings that describe its nature and purpose. He argues that the Kingdom of God is not simply a future reality, but a present reality that is already being established in the world through the work of Christ and the Holy Spirit.The second section of the book traces the historical development of the Kingdom of God, from the early church fathers to the Protestant Reformation to the modern era. Candlish shows how different theologians and movements have understood and interpreted the Kingdom of God throughout history, and how these interpretations have influenced Christian thought and practice.In the final section of the book, Candlish explores the practical implications of the Kingdom of God for contemporary Christian life. He argues that the Kingdom of God should be the central focus of Christian discipleship, and that it should shape every aspect of our lives, from our personal relationships to our social and political engagement.Overall, The Kingdom of God: Biblically and Historically Considered is a comprehensive and insightful study of one of the central themes of Christian theology. It provides a rich and nuanced understanding of the Kingdom of God, and challenges readers to consider how this concept should shape their own lives and the life of the church as a whole.The Tenth Series Of Cunningham Lectures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
