This book addresses the problems raised by biblical scholarship concerning Jesus and his mission. Much of Jesus' ministry remains a mystery; many of the things he said and did do not fit neatly into traditional Christian interpretation. He spoke of the coming of the kingdom of God but what become of this new age which was meant to be tangible and nearThe King of God's Kingdom in part is an attempt to uncover and understand Jesus and His vision. At the same time Seccombe inspires confidence in the historical Jesus overcoming much of the confusion that has been created in the last two hundred years. With conviction of the urgency of these issues for the Christian faith today he presents a solution to the puzzle in the form of an account of Jesus' ministry years.
