Synopsis

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.

YAY This book has been a journey, I feel like I should give an award-ceremony-type speech at this point. I don't know how to rate it, nothing feels right. Maybe 3.5? Do I round up or down? Anyway, the biblical theology section was extremely humbling and hard for me to follow. Every chapter felt like......more

Goodreads review by Ethan on March 29, 2022

Treat's book is excellent in both method and content. He is seeking to destroy the divide between kingdom and cross in biblical and systematic theology. He notes that often kingdom is emphasized at the expense of the cross or vice versa in biblical theology, whereas in systematic theology Christus V......more

Goodreads review by Josh on September 18, 2019

This is an excellent book that appropriately distinguishes and relates the atonement accomplished by the cross of Christ, to the kingdom inaugurated by the death and resurrection of Christ. I enjoyed this one very much.......more
