Prophet, Priest, Prince, and the Already, Not Yet

“From the very beginnings of Christianity, the question of what is meant by the coming of the kingdom of God has preoccupied believers. In a sensitive way, TK Dunn draws on biblical and theological material to bring wisdom to troubled ecclesial, eschatological, and—even—political waters. There is much in here for pastors and professors alike to engage in relation to the history of the church, biblical theology, and systematics.”

“At a time in which ‘kingdom theology’ appears to be making a comeback, TK Dunn’s thesis is an important addition to the conversation. Leaning upon the cross-centered hermeneutics of Scottish theologian P.T. Forsyth, Dunn offers a robust critique of the dispensationalist eschatologies which have had such a significant impact on modern evangelicalism and arguably the modern world. What emerges is a rigorous, readable, and fascinating theological account of the church’s relationship to the past, present, and ongoing work of Christ as prophet, priest, and king.”
