Isten országa Jézus prédikálásában és munkásságában

The Kingdom of God in the Preaching and Work of Jesus

Abstract

The current piece of research has evidenced that the concept of the Kingdom of God / Kingdom of Heaven is not new in the biblical theology of the human writers of the Scripture. However, Jesus of Nazareth has given the concept a rather central importance in his kerygma. Three fundamental meanings have been attached to it: (1) the Kingdom is inseparably attached to Christ’s Person, (2) the Kingdom is the present realisation of Jesus’ future eschatology and (3) Christ extends the teachings of the Kingdom to all ethnic groups and peoples, thus establishing its universality.
