One of the evangelical world’s greatest areas of both interest and confusion is found in biblical theme of the Kingdom of God. In an era of denominational decline and even hostile skepticism toward ‘organized religion’, believers are grappling again with Jesus’ King-dom concepts. As a result, much deconstruction of the church has taken place with little attention given to what might replace it.
This book is about the question of how the church properly fits into the larger picture of God’s activity.
Christopherson’s Kingdom Matrix is based upon three solidly biblical yet highly controversial assumptions. These are:
At any given moment I am either building the Kingdom of God or the dominion of Darkness. Period.
It is possible to participate in church expansion and unintention-ally be an agent for shrinking the Kingdom of God.
It is possible to unknowingly value the Kingdom of God before ac-knowledging the value of its Source; the King.
Christopherson’s work is an intellectual leap for many, but told with humorous stories and common-place examples making it both an enjoyable and challenging read.
