In this ESBT volume, Stephen Dempster traces the themes of kingship and kingdom throughout Scripture, illuminating the challenges, pain, and ultimate hope that the Bible offers. The story of God's kingship is ultimately the fulfillment of a promise to defeat sin and death and to establish a world of peace and justice.

Stephen G. Dempster is emeritus professor of religious studies at Crandall University, and author of numerous publications including Dominion and Dynasty and the Two Horizons Commentary on Micah.
