The Kingdom Reformation is the third in a trilogy on the kingdom of God: the mission and message of Jesus. The other two publications are Breakthrough: Discovering the Kingdom (a biblical theology) and Demonstrating the Kingdom (a practical theology). The trilogy forms the core of a larger project on kingdom theology which Derek Morphew has been developing over decades. It traces the roots of kingdom theology to four key factors that have emerged in the post Second World War era. They are, 1. The discovery and availability of the literature of Second Temple Judaism (the Dead Sea Scrolls, 1947).2. The post holocaust review of Protestantism and the emergence of a Jewish-Christian dialogue.3. The shift from modernism to postmodernism, leading to a review of the historical method as applied to the New Testament.4. The consensus position of inaugurated eschatology, namely that Jesus taught that the kingdom of God was both future (apocalyptic, or end of the age) and present in his ministry. These four factors have led to the emergence of a fresh departure in the long history of Christian theology, which is so fundamental (like a Reformation) that everything must be reviewed. To rediscover Jesus is to review the entire history of theology, including orthodoxy and the Reformation, without rejecting either of them. While this fresh departure is growing and widely represented today, applying kingdom theology to mission and praxis has taken place particularly in the post-Wimber charismatic or "third wave" tradition, in a number of young and growing missional and church planting movement.

The kingdom of heaven is meant to override and push back corrupted kingdoms of this present world. It is eternal, tangible, and relevant today. Jesus Christ spoke about the kingdom’s present reality and the world-changing dynamics associated with it. Faith-filled members of the redeemed community will occupy influential establishments and professions. Many Christians are accepting the assignment of stepping into many persuasive institutions such as government, retail sales, construction, education, media, the arts and entertainment, and family to make a difference. They are applying God’s love, biblical values, and their lifestyles to reform these arenas and to create atmospheres in which unbelievers are transformed into committed followers of Christ. Are Christian people supposed to “get along” with established practices, business as usual procedures, even if they oppose biblical ethics and practices? What if you are a “game-changer” in the mixed-up culture of our day—a Christian who boldly chooses to enter a conflicted or compromised arena of influence. Could you be the committed disciple of Jesus who will look squarely in the face of ungodly and chaotic conditions that oppose biblical ideals to deliver transformation? What if you, being armed with the armor, love, and the power of God, were to break into an established arena, an institution, a career, or profession with a better way—God’s way of doing business? Could it be that you are a reformer in the world? Is it possible you are a converter in a crazy culture that needs Jesus Christ and his biblical agenda? As we study the reality and significance of God’s kingdom, I hope you will capture its implications and relevance personally. If you do, your life in Christ will be more expressive and exciting, your purpose clearer, and our collective mission more accurately fulfilled.

The nature and life of the church is one of the most crucial issues facing Christians in the closing years of the twentieth century. Questions of ministry and liturgy, authority and freedom, appear in a wide variety of guises throughout the world-wide church. Relativism and uncertainty seem to be as common in the church as in the world. Many Christians wonder whether there is any way forward. In this context, The Reformation of the Church is an invaluable aid. An anthology of documents, drawn largely but not exclusively from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it presents in a readily accessible form the finest thinking of the reformed fathers on authority and freedom, the need for reformation, the nature of the government, unity and membership of the church of Jesus Christ. Warmly welcomed when first published in 1965, and widely use since then, these documents provide invaluable material for ministers, elders, leaders, students and all Christians who are concerned to see Christ's church fulfill her God-given role at a critical juncture in her history.

Jesus preached the Kingdom of God on Earth, but WHAT did He really mean by the Kingdom? We hear Jesus' delight when Peter identified Him as the Messiah, but WHY was Jesus so pleased with Peter's insight? Upon This Rock reveals the deep kingdom principles behind Jesus' actions. Yes, He has called us to bring the Kingdom of God to the cultures of this world, but HOW will we do it? "In answers to these questions and more, Dr. Tim Hamon opens the way through scripture by yielding to the voice of God in the midst of our quest, bringing us to the mountaintop of Kingdom Authority.""A powerful and unstoppable invasion has begun on the earth! It is being propelled by the game-changing revelation that Christians should stop going to church and instead, be the church everywhere they go. Tim Hamon does a brilliant job of enlightening us on how kingdom-minded believers can leaven their world with the unstoppable principles of the kingdom of heaven. You are called to do more than make a difference; you are called to be the difference. This book will teach you how." - Dutch Sheets Forward by Dr Bill Hamon: "Dr. Tim Hamon, my son, is an Apostolic Teacher of deep comprehension who writes as he teaches. His prose flows with simple logic, profound insight, and a feather touch that belies the weight of its impact. As a master craftsman, Dr. Tim lays a secure foundation, examining all aspects of his subject matter before culminating in truth that is both simple to comprehend and a wonder to behold. It's not uncommon to hear people exclaim, "Wow, I never saw that before!" (No wonder he sells out his CD's and DVD's at our conferences long before any other speaker.) This is why his latest book is a must-read for all aspiring Third Reformation Kingdom Reformers. Those whom God calls, He also equips. Dr. Tim's work is a crucial component of that equipping. It is the book many have been seeking to understand the practical realities of the Kingdom of God. Fundamental to his insights, Dr. Tim explains how the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of the Lord, as foretold in Revelation 11:15. In my book on the third and final church reformation, I emphasized the Kingdom of God but I didn't explain what the Kingdom of God is or how we can fulfill the Lord's prayer of "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven." Instead, I said it would take another book to explain the Kingdom of God and how we achieve it. Upon This Rock, by Dr. Tim, is that other book. Dr. Tim Hamon presents truth that will bring enlightenment, revelation, and new biblical understanding to your life and ministry. Bless you, Tim, for making known to the Body of Christ what God has revealed to you. What the father has revealed, the son has fulfilled." - Bishop Bill Hamon Dr. Bill Hamon is the founder and bishop of Christian International Apostolic Network. He has authored 13 major books focused on restoration movements that have taken place during the last 40 years, including: the Prophetic Movement, the Apostolic Movement, the Saints Movement, and the 3rd Reformation. His latest book in 2016 is God's World War III.

In this book, the problem of the reality of salvation is addressed by T.F. Torrance's doctrine of "the vicarious humanity of Christ." Through this approach, salvation as humanization is affirmed, yet without the problems of anthropocentric theologies. This book is unique in that it offers both a survey of contemporary Christian thinking on salvation as well as a constructive alternative based on Torrance's doctrine, a significant yet neglected contribution to modern theology.
