Peter J. Leithart is President of the Theopolis Institute in Birmingham, Alabama, and Teacher at Trinity Presbyterian Church. He is author of a number of books, including Creator (IVP, forthcoming). He and his wife, Noel, have ten children and fifteen grandchildren.
"Since its publication thirty years ago, I have used Peter's book
in many different contexts-in men's and ladies Bible studies, as
supplemental help for seminary students studying biblical theology,
and as the ideal give-away book to anyone interested in an
easy-to-access introduction to biblical eschatology. Now I can stop
hoarding my old out-of-print copies and start giving this book away
again."Pastor Jeff Meyers, Providence Reformed Presbyterian Church
in St. Louis, MO
"With great clarity and rigor, Peter Leithart helps us to grasp the
political nature of all life, from breathing our prayers to signing
petitions to watching for signs of spiritual maturity in Christian
community. Kingdom, or as some have called it, 'empire, ' is not a
hastily chosen idea by Jesus, nor was kingship in the Hebrew
Scriptures. Leithart deftly integrates the political vision of
Scripture with the return of the King and Judge. For those who
struggle to see how Scripture teems with such themes, and for those
who don't see its relevance, The Kingdom and the Power skillfully
lights the path of biblical teaching. Compelling reading all the
way through."Dr. Dru Johnson, author of Human Rites: The Power of
Rituals, Habits, and Sacraments, and co-host of the OnScript
Podcast
"The Kingdom and the Power offers a solution to the fashionable and
trendy trust in horses and chariots in the church today. It
restores the place of the church to the status above other earthly
institutions. But she is not glorious because of herself but
because she was purchased with the blood of a great bridegroom.
Leithart exhorts the church to be the church and to re-assert her
role in society as the alternative city."Rev. Dr. Uriesou Brito,
Senior Pastor of Providence Church in Pensacola, Fl.
