Kingdom Of God
For readers, especially younger ones, whose primary cultural exposure to ‘kingdoms’ is fantasy fiction, film, and games, ‘kingdom’ may evoke an imagined fictional realm rather than God’s actual present-and-coming sovereign reign; this curriculum should stress the kingdom of God’s real, historical, and ongoing nature.
