Description Little attention is usually given to the space or place of the kingdom.
About the Author Patrick Schreiner is Assistant Professor of New Testament Literature and Language at Western Seminary in Portland Oregon, USA..
The Spatial Kingdom begins in his body, and he extends it to his church by promising his presence.
Jesus is granted authority over this space and inspires people to follow him in this construction project.
Therefore, in Matthew, Jesus does not just promise a temporal or ethereal kingdom, but one that is located, one that has a sense of rootedness.
Jesus pierces the barrier between the two realms in his incarnation, and the spaces of heaven and earth begin to collide in his ministry.
In this volume Patrick Schreiner argues that by expanding one\'s view of space one can see that Jesus\' purpose is to reorder the space of the earth in Matthew as the heavenly king.
Yet Matthew employs the distinctive phrase "Kingdom of heaven" and also portrays Jesus as Immanuel (God with us).
