Customer Reviews

An inspiring book for the believer with an inquiring mind

No need for special schooling in order to find this book rewarding. Throckmorton writes about Jesus Christ and the Kingdom,or "Dominion" of God, using the gospels as primary source, in a way that gives increased meaning to this familiar phrase.Therefore, the book provides an excellent, much needed balance to the sometime imaginative writings that appear in Crossan and Borg et al concerning authentic words spoken by Jesus. Throckmorton writes with great clarity graced with humor, always inclusive but never obtrusive.
