THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Donald S. K. Palmer

This book is essentially eschatological, yet its primary focus is on the present! Donald Palmer argues that biblical eschatology is grounded in what God has done in the death and resurrection of Jesus and looks forward to the time of consummation at his return,

An understanding of this will provide the Christian with a 'view of history, the assurance of its final conclusion, and assure him of his ultimate destiny'.

This surely provides the balanced Christian perspective on the events and purpose of eschatology, not as sensational and dramatic speculations about the end of the world, but rather as the completion of our salvation begun in this life.
