I am beginning a study on the kingdom and kingdom living. Yes it is a large topic. Does anyone have any resources that you would like to recommend? Anything that you have found helpful?
I would highly recommend Robert Farrar Capon's Parables of the Kingdom (originally a stand-alone book), which is the first section of Kingdom, Grace, Judgment: Paradox, Outrage, and Vindication in the Parables of Jesus.

Seconded!
Thank you for your suggestions. Very helpful!
I also suggest doing a study of "church" and "kingdom" in the New Testament. Maybe starting with Ephesians....
Check out Herman Ridderbos's The Coming of the Kingdom.
Great suggestion. I will do so.
Thanks Bill

Searching the website for "Matthew Kingdom" brings up a lot
Tony Evans has some books at Logos.com. Here is his webpage about a "kingdom agenda"
