Customer Reviews

the Kingdom of God

A central teaching of Jesus is the coming "Kingdom of God". This book was recommended to me for its insights into what Jesus intended us to understand in His teaching about the Kingdom of God. The author provide an excellent review and analysis of the main schools of interpetation on the Kingdom as Jesus taught it.. With biblical references the author take us from the Politcal school identified with the "Zeolots" among Jesus diciples to the "All ready but not yet" aspects of the Kingdom of many modern day schools of thought. I recommend this text to all who seek a deeper perspective on this critical taching of Jesus.

Good Book!

Robert H. Stein gives the Bible student a brief overview of Jesus' use of language in the Gospels. How I wish Christians would take the time to read this book. Many have no clue as to when a statement is to be interpreted literally or when it is overstatement or hyperbole. If you are wrestling with the "hard-sayings" of Jesus... get this book. It will help you better interpret the Scriptures.

Extemely good book

This is an extremely good book. I would like to recommend it to anyone that would like to know how Jesus taught, and what He taught. I read another good book that referred to this book several times, it's called Reading The Bible for all It Worth. I would recommend these 2 books to every Christian as required reading.

Fabulous Book

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It motivated me to read hundreds of other scholarly Christian books--and of course all of Dr. Stein's other books. Before I read this book, Jesus' words seemed sort of dry and dull; this book helped me to appreciate the real genius of Jesus, and why so many people flocked to listen to his teaching.
