  • The
  • kingdom
  • of
  • God
  • and
  • the
  • atonement
  • are
  • two
  • of
  • the
  • most
  • important
  • themes
  • in
  • all
  • of
  • Scripture.
  • Tragically,
  • theologians
  • have
  • often
  • either
  • set
  • the
  • two
  • at
  • odds
  • or
  • focused
  • on
  • one
  • to
  • the
  • complete
  • neglect
  • of
  • the
  • other.In
  • The
  • Crucified
  • King,Jeremy
  • Treat
  • demonstrates
  • that
  • Scripture
  • presents
  • a
  • mutually
  • enriching
  • relationship
  • between
  • the
  • kingdom
  • and
  • atonement
  • that
  • draws
  • significantly
  • from
  • the
  • story
  • of
  • Israel
  • and
  • culminates
  • in
  • the
  • crucifixion
  • of
  • Christ
  • the
  • king.
  • As
  • Israel’s
  • messiah,
  • he
  • holds
  • together
  • the
  • kingdom
  • and
  • the
  • cross
  • by
  • bringing
  • God’s
  • reign
  • on
  • earth
  • through
  • his
  • atoning
  • death.
  • The
  • kingdom
  • is
  • the
  • ultimate
  • goal
  • of
  • the
  • cross,
  • and
  • the
  • cross
  • is
  • the
  • means
  • by
  • which
  • the
  • kingdom
  • comes.
  • Jesus’
  • death
  • is
  • not
  • the
  • failure
  • of
  • his
  • messianic
  • ministry,
  • nor
  • simply
  • the
  • prelude
  • to
  • his
  • royal
  • glory,
  • but
  • is
  • the
  • apex
  • of
  • his
  • kingdom
  • mission.
  • The
  • cross
  • is
  • the
  • throne
  • from
  • which
  • he
  • rules
  • and
  • establishes
  • his
  • kingdom.Using
  • a
  • holistic
  • approach
  • that
  • brings
  • together
  • the
  • insights
  • of
  • biblical
  • and
  • systematic
  • theology,
  • this
  • book
  • demonstrates
  • not
  • only
  • that
  • the
  • kingdom
  • and
  • the
  • cross
  • are
  • inseparable,
  • but
  • how
  • they
  • are
  • integrated
  • in
  • Scripture
  • and theology.
