‘Reign’ and ‘House’ in the Kingdom of God in the Gospels1

Sverre Aalena1

a1 Oslo, Norway

The object of this paper is to examine the tenability of the generally accepted view that the term ‘kingdom of God’ or ‘kingdom of heaven’ ought properly to be rendered as ‘Reign, or Rule of God’. This view assumes that the basic idea of the expression βασιλεία Τοũ θεοũ implies that God is, or becomes, king, that he sets up his kingly rule, or asserts his divine sovereignty over or in the world.
