The Kingdom of God: The Biblical Concept and Its Meaning for the Church (Series a)

Rating:
Summary: You must read the old testament with this book side by side.
Review: The Kingdom of God by John Bright, renown Professor Emeritus of Hebrew and the interpretation of the Old Testament at Union Theological Seminary in Va., is the best cpompanion book you could read along with the Old Testament. This man has a deep understanding of how God works in history, then and now. His profound insights are founded not only in his ability to think in Hebrew and understand original meanings, but also his knowledge of history. His personal knowledge of who God is the thread that makes this book prophetic as well as practicle. I have been reading it over and over for 20 years without tiring. It is a book for the layperson as well as the student. If this book appeals to you, I highly recommend "A History of Israel" although it is much more of a textbook.
