Denominations often have diverse teachings on the Kingdom of God. These denominations interpret the Kingdom of God in distinctly different ways.〔〔 As new Christian denominations emerged, their experiments with the linking of personalism with new notions of community based on the ideals of the Acts of Apostles regarding the sharing of property produced various interpretations and eschatological perspectives that linked social and philanthropic issues to the religious interpretations of the Kingdom of God.〔 R. T. France has stated that, while the concept of Kingdom of God has an intuitive meaning to lay Christians, there is hardly any agreement among theologians about its meaning in the New Testament, and it is often interpreted in many ways to fit the theological agenda of those interpreting it.〔''Divine Government: God's Kingship in the Gospel of Mark'' by R.T. France (10 Mar 2003) ISBN 1573832448 pages 1-3〕 ==Overview== Given no general agreement on the interpretation of the term Kingdom of God, significant diversity exists in the way Christian denominations interpret it and its associated eschatology.〔 Over the centuries, as emerging Christian denominations introduced new concepts, their teachings and experiments with the linking of personalism with new notions of Christian community often involved new interpretations of the Kingdom of God in various socio-religious settings.〔〔''The Eastern Orthodox Church: Its Thought and Life'' by Ernst Benz (Jul 31, 2008) ISBN 0202362981 page 158〕 Thus the denominational attempt at incorporating the ideals expressed in the Acts of Apostles regarding the sharing of property within the Christian community came to interact with the social issues of the time to produce various interpretations regarding the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth.〔''Encountering Theology of Mission: Biblical Foundations, Historical Developments, and Contemporary Issues'' by Craig Ott, Stephen J. Strauss and Timothy C. Tennent (May 1, 2010) ISBN 0801026628 pages 139-141〕〔 Eschatological perspectives that emphasized the abandonment of the utopian visions of human achievement and the placement of hope in the work of God whose Kingdom were sought thus resulted in the linking of social and philanthropic issues to the religious interpretations of the Kingdom of God in ways that produced distinct variations among denominations.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kingdom of God (Christian denominational variations)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
