My friend Alan Streett, Research Professor at Criswell College, has
written a useful introduction to the meaning and relevance of the
kingdom of God to Christian life. This book is well informed about
empire studies, voluntary associations in the ancient world, the
Christus Victor model of the atonement, use of Psalm 110 in the early
church, and more. Man, I wish more dispensationalists read the Book of
Daniel the way that Streett does! He makes great points about the Holy
Spirit and the Kingdom, some controversial comments about flags in
churches, an openness to modern miracles, a useful exposition of the
sermon on the mount, and many useful practical points too.
My only
quibble is that I wish Streett would have imbibed a bit of Graham
Goldsworthy. Otherwise, a very good introduction to the kingdom of God,
wish I could send one to every dispensationalist I know!
