This volume stands within the long line of inquiry on the relevance of God's kingdom for the Christian life. It establishes a temporal view of the theological and moral significance of Jesus' resurrection as the beginning of a new age which radically contextualizes and shapes the Christian life. It pursues this goal, in large part, by presenting a view of the church as the anticipatory social embodiment of God's fulfilled reign.
