Integrative Theology, Volume 3: Spirit-Given Life: God’s People, Present and Future
Overview
Historical, biblical, systematic, and practical—Integrative Theology helps students in a pluralistic world utilize a standard method of fruitful research. Originally a three volume set, this resource combines all three volumes, unabridged, into one. Each chapter covers a major doctrine, stating a classic issue of ultimate concern, surveying alternative past and present answers, and testing those proposals against the Bible. From here, each chapter formulates a doctrinal conclusion that consistently fits the many lines of biblical data, defends that conviction, and explores the conclusion’s relevance to spiritual growth and service to others. In short, Integrative Theology weaves together the disciplines of historical, biblical, systematic, apologetic, and practical theology—all for the glory of God.

The kingdom signifies the rule of God, as a spiritual and invisible reality, initially over believing Israel and subsequently over the New Testament community. In the future age the kingdom will appear concretely and visibly as the absolute reign of God over the renewed order in heaven.” (Page 309)
