Raamatun Tutkisteluja 3: Tulkoon Valtakuntasi

A theological work written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the implications and significance of God's kingdom as presented in the Bible, emphasizing its establishment in the world and the expectations surrounding it. Russell's exploration aims to provide clarity to Christians regarding their beliefs about the coming kingdom and its relevance in contemporary society. At the start of the work, Russell addresses the growing wave of skepticism that challenges traditional Christian beliefs. He notes how societal views are increasingly at odds with biblical teachings, creating confusion and doubt among believers. The opening chapter discusses the imminent establishment of God's kingdom, how it aligns with biblical prophecy, and expresses hope for this divine governance as a remedy for human suffering. Russell delineates the various societal classes that either embrace or oppose this expectation, stressing the importance of actively aligning one’s life with the values of the anticipated kingdom. The reader is introduced to the significant themes of faith, prophetic fulfillment, and societal change that will permeate the subsequent discussions in the text.
