The Kingdom of Our God

Description

The story told in the Book of Isaiah is one of power, fall, loss and restoration. It speaks not only to its own time and place but to us today in a world of political unpredictably, upset and division - in such a world, what does the Kingdom of God really mean? What does God's sovereignty really look like? Can people who don't know about God's kingdom still serve it? Do we need to worry about unjust leaders or should we just say `Jesus is the true Lord so it'll all be fine'? How does the Book of Isaiah help to walk the tightrope between God's sovereignty and human suffering? Offering a timely, relevant and fresh introduction to the whole Book of Isaiah, with those in the early stages of biblical and theological study, ministry students, preachers and interested lay people in mind, the book will compliment the similar approach taken by Mark Scarlata in The Abiding Presence: A Theological Commentary on Exodus (published July 2018).
