In a previous post I indicated that I would like to do a series of post based on N. T. Wright entitled Whatever did St. Paul do with the Kingdom of God.
Let me start off with this quote:
What did Paul do with the kingdom of God? Well of course he preached it, he lived it, he longed for it, but that begs the question as to what the kingdom actually is…so many Christians in the western world blithely assumed that they know what kingdom of God is all about and then just assume that that what Paul and the others are referring to.
Has it been your experience that believers don’t have a good grasp on what the kingdom of God actually is?
Next post we will get into how Wright defines kingdom of God and his survey of Old Testament precursors to it.
By the way I discovered a neat trick (well new to me) on how to adjust the speed of playback via Windows Media player. See here for an explanation.
