Thy Kingdom Come: Tracing God's Kingdom Program and Covenant Promises Throughout History
Overview
Noted Bible teacher J. Dwight Pentecost traces the sweeping history of the kingdom program from eternity past to eternity future, relating it to the development of the convenant promises. Some of the key issues discussed in the book include:
- How do interpretations of the "kingdom of God" differ?
- How can we distinguish the various covenants of the Old Testament?
- How does the church relate to the covenants made with Israel?
- What will the future kingdom be like?
While Pentecost's study of the kingdom represents thirty years of scholarly research and teaching, his style can be readily appreciated by the general Christian reader.
