The biblical story begins and ends with God as king. Human beings rebel, however, rather than fulfilling their royal calling to rule creation on behalf of their Sovereign—and the world became enslaved to the rule of a dark, serpentine lord. In this volume of IVP Academic's Essential Studies in Biblical Theology, Stephen Dempster traces the themes of kingship and kingdom throughout Scripture, illuminating the challenges, pain, and ultimate hope that the Bible offers. The story of God’s kingship is ultimately the fulfillment of a promise, a promise to restore the rightful rule of humanity over creation by defeating sin and death and to establish a world of peace and justice. Essential Studies in Biblical Theology (ESBT), edited by Benjamin L. Gladd, explore the central or essential themes of the Bible's grand storyline. Taking cues from Genesis 1–3, authors trace the presence of these themes throughout the entire sweep of redemptive history. Written for students, church leaders, and laypeople, the series offers an introduction to biblical theology.

______________

"Stephen G. Dempster has gifted the untutored Christian with an understanding of the story line of the Bible and how all its parts contribute to that story, succinctly captured in the book's title, The Return of the Kingdom. It's a magisterial presentation. But his gift is also for those most educated in that story. Rarely do I want to pick up a book again after having read it. I will pick up The Return of the Kingdom many times. I enthusiastically commend it to all who hope for Christ's return or are without hope." Bruce K. Waltke, professor emeritus of biblical studies, Regent College, Vancouver, and distinguished professor emeritus at Knox Theological Seminary

Spectacular story everyone should read
Format: Kindle
Although long, this book is simply a spectacular story that everyone should read. Even for the most informed, you will learn something new in every chapter. The 2008 financial crash is one of those rare events that will effect almost everyone on earth and certainly everyone in the US. As Tooze details, that crash is going to cost the US more than $20 trillion and has caused deep and dramatic social and political upheavals. The impact in Europe and around the world has been and continues to be no less far-reaching. For anyone who wants to understand the social, cultural, political and economic fault lines around the world today, this book is a must-read. It's deeply informed, comprehensive and insightful in surprising ways even for those who think they've already read everything worthwhile about the financial crash, economic crisis and political developments. Read it and then give it to someone else to read (or buy them one as a gift!).
