Summary:

A German New Testament scholar presents a new, historically grounded explanation of the phrases Kingdom of God and God's Reign, as the central terms of Jesus' proclamation. He draws on a wide range of sources to clarify Jesus' position within early Judaism, but mainly focuses on his ministry as the beginning of the history of early Christianity.
