The Teaching of Jesus Concerning the Kingdom of God and the Church

Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949)

Vos traces the kingdom of God through the Gospels as the central category of Christ's teaching, distinguishing its present and future aspects and correcting both liberal and eschatological misreadings. He shows that the kingdom is the sovereign rule of God in saving power, grounded in righteousness, and directed toward the renewal of all things. The book closes with Vos's careful argument that the church, though not identical with the kingdom, is its organic expression in history.
