What is the Kingdom of God?

"...the kingdom of God is the redemptive reign of God dynamically active to establish his rule among human beings....this kingdom, which will appear as an apocalyptic act at the end of the age, has already come into human history in the person and mission of Jesus to overcome evil, to deliver people from its power, and bring them into the blessings of God's reign."

-- George Eldon Ladd, "A Theology of the New Testament," rev. ed. (Grand Rapids:Eerdmans, 1993, pp.89-90)
