The relationship between the church and the kingdom is hardly a new topic in Reformed theology. One might think that by now every imaginable facet of this matter would be settled. However, discussions in various parts of the world show how easily conversations degenerate into polemics that stifle the sacred responsibility “to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Eph 4:3). Perhaps vigorous polemics have served some positive ends in the past. However, at this time when interest in Reformed theology grows around the world, paths must be found that will move beyond the controversies of the past and toward more mutuality.
