Publisher's Synopsis
Restoring the Lost Kingdom: A Biblical-Theological Look at 1 Timothy 2 is a deep dive into the context needed to properly understand one of the Bible's most controversial passages, as well as the personal story of how a strongly-complementarian Pastor reconsidered his opinions based on the strength of the Scriptures. Moving adroitly between the macro-view of Genesis through Revelation and detailed examinations of the most important texts involved in the debate, the book brings a fresh and cheeky approach to the questions of why God created male and female, the purpose of human life, the devastating consequences of human sin, and the glorious redemption that is found in Jesus.
Restoring the Lost Kingdom offers a unique take on the New Testament's most hotly-debated passage, by thoroughly exploring the Biblical-Theological context for 1 Timothy 2. Accessible to college students and educated lay people, but serious enough for academics, RTLK looks at the theology of male and female from Genesis through Revelation, exploring the Created purpose of marriage and gender, how they were distorted in the Fall, how Jesus redeems them with all things, and how gender and marriage in the Church points forward to God's Kingdom fully come.
