Publisher's Description
For decades, the kingdom of God has remained one of the dominant and most important themes in theology and biblical studies. The kingdom of God is no passive, abstract construct, or static movement. God's rule and reign stretch to the farthest bounds of the earth--reaching and encompassing humankind wherever they may be found and bringing them under the lordship of Christ. It is this aggressive march of the kingdom that inspired the title of this book. While engaging a readership of persons with interests and differing levels of formal academic training, Kingdom Advancing targets theological students, local pastors, and laypersons who wish to broaden and deepen their biblical and theological understanding of God's rule in the world. To that end the writing and contents are neither pedantic nor elementary but are pitched at an accessible wavelength and frequency. The reader will find the contents to be theologically and biblically balanced.

“A comprehensive and well-documented treatise, Kingdom Advancing is a passionate plea from a scholar-pastor that must be heeded. Trevor Grizzle must be commended for his effort to point out the demands of the kingdom of God on contemporary followers of Jesus. I recommend this volume to the academy and the church with the promise that it will inform, illuminate, inspire, and prophetically challenge its readers to put their hands to the plough in response to the call of the one true King—Jesus Christ, the risen Lord.”
“Much of what has been written on the biblical theme of the kingdom of God has been speculative. Kingdom Advancing is different. A professor of New Testament at Oral Roberts University, Trevor Grizzle is adept at dealing with the kingdom of God and its implications for living in today’s world. This book will profit many people, especially local church pastors, people in the pews, theological students, and professional theologians.”
