The Social and Political Dimension of the Kingdom of God in Mark (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781664248847)

What is the Kingdom of God understanding in Roman occupied Palestine as depicted in Mark's narrative is the goal of the book. The book stresses the social and political dimension of the Kingdom of God in Mark against a always futurist, eschatological and spiritual understanding of the concept. The Book then draws implications from the Mennonite Brethren church of Congo to see whether a shift paradigm of this concept can bring more empowerment and social, economic and political vision of this conservative organization.
