Kingdom Come: Reflections in Honor of Jonathan R. Wilson
Ebook
For four decades, the Rev. Dr. Jonathan R. Wilson has cultivated an imagination for "kingdom realism" as a pastor, teacher, theologian, and friend. To celebrate his seventieth birthday, Kingdom Come has gathered reflections from fellow theologians, popular authors, poets, and practitioners to mark both the range of Wilson's influence on the Christian church and the consistency of his prayer and work for God's kingdom to come here on earth as it is in heaven.

“Far too few beyond the theological academy may recognize the insight or importance of the work of Jonathan R. Wilson, which has charted a way for Christian faithfulness in the midst of cultural fragmentation. Yet if this volume and these contributors are any indication of the significance of his influence as a pastor, teacher, and scholar, then this book and his work surely deserve to be taken very seriously.”
—Curtis W. Freeman, Duke Divinity School
“Whenever I think of Jonathan Wilson, many descriptors come to mind—scholar, teacher, pastor. But the word that dwarfs all of them is a humble and heartfelt one: friend. All the lectures, articles, sermons, and books that he’s shared over the years are ultimately an act of friendship—a lifetime offering of the caring and affection he holds for others, for creation, and for God. No contemporary theologian embodies such deep mutuality and companionship through their work.”
—Diana Butler Bass, author of Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence
