DESCRIPTION
After surveying the debate of eschatology, Ladd discusses the promise of the kingdom, the fulfillment of the promise, and the consummation of the promise. Throughout the book he develops his thesis that the kingdom of God involves two great movements--fulfillment within history and consummation at the end of history.
REVIEWS
Gordon D. Fee
"A welcoming reprinting. . . This classic exposition of 'inaugurated eschatology'—the kingdom of God as both 'already and not yet' in the ministry of Jesus himself—should serve a new generation of students and pastors as it did an earlier one."
