Abstract
“In this essay we can only consider how the concept of the Kingdom of God was used before and after the resurrection. This comparison will shed light on the authority of Jesus, a crucial element in the origin of christology; and this comparison will help explain the shift from Jesus' proclamation of the Kingdom to the primitive church's kerygma and its development of christology. We will find that there is a definite difference between Jesus' preaching and the teaching of the early church, but we will also detect a continuity between them in terms of the person of Jesus.”
