    <body><![CDATA[John Bright gives a compelling explanation of the Kingdom of God. Through a comprehensive biblical theology he explains the role of both Israel and the Church in that kingdom. I thought his work in the Old Testament was excellent, while his work in the New Testament was good but not as thorough as his treatment of the Old. He deals more with the problems of the church not truly being the church in the end than with New Testament texts. <br/><br/>All in all, this is an excellent read and a great look at a Biblical theology of the Kingdom of God. I would recommend this to all Christians for a good understanding of this topic.]]></body>
