Reviews

[Joshua Stone · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pentecost’s Biblical Theology of the “Kingdom” acts as a bridge between the older works of Peters and Chaffer and newer works by Henebury and Valch. While superseded in many ways by the later, Pentecost is still well worth reading. Chapter 18 “The Kingdom offered-and rejected” is one of the best and most succinct defenses of this dispensational position I have ever read.

Very interesting but arguments are difficult to read and is a difficult and *boring* book to read in my personal opinion. I personally could not finish it but the history it provided on the church was well written.

Really good overview of kingdoms and covenants. Pretty simple terms so anyone could read it, but does into great depth and shows the story throughout the Bible

As with all books by J. Dwight Pentecost, this is an excellent book )although it is a bit dry when reading straight though). This book, along with "The Greatness of the Kingdom" by Alva McClain, provide a framework for understanding the Bible in it's entirety.
Dr. Pentecost's organization of the material as well as his Appendix makes this an extremely valuable reference book for accurate Biblical interpretation.

Probably THE most important book for Christians to read and understand an overview of God's Plan for everyone. Failure to understand dispensations AND the context of the Abrahamic, Palestinian, Davidic, and New Covenants causes errors in our day-to-day decisions and efforts.
