The Kingdom in History and Prophecy

What did the Bible's writers mean when they spoke of the kingdom? Lewis Sperry Chafer, who later founded Dallas Theological Seminary, set out to answer that in 1915 by tracing the theme from the Old Testament through the New. His approach is to read the text closely and let it lead, rather than fit Scripture to a ready-made theological system, and the result became a foundational study for many who came after him.

This edition updates Chafer's language and Scripture citations into modern English, so a century-old argument reads clearly and briskly. It is short, focused and well suited to students of Scripture, Bible study leaders and anyone who wants a clear, text-driven introduction to the kingdom of God.
