Ten professors from Regent University collaborated on The Secret Kingdom for Educators. This work expands on Dr. Pat Robertson’s revelation, The Secret Kingdom: Your Path to Peace, Love, and Financial Security, to help educators tap into the kingdom of God as they go about their day-to-day activities as teachers and leaders in public, private, or home-school settings. The book investigates the Secret Kingdom laws and principles and how they operate regardless of whether one knows about them or not. Each law (of Use, Reciprocity, Perseverance, Fidelity, Unity, Change, Greatness, Responsibility, Miracles and Dominion) is defined and explained through true stories, case studies, research based practices, and historical information. The book culminates with practical application to provide strategies that can be easily implemented in any setting to benefit all students.
Each chapter of the book was authored by Regent's SOE faculty. In addition to Arroyo and Jordan, chapter authors include: Dr. John Hanes, Dr. James Swezey, Dr. William Cox, Dr. George Selig, Dr. Joan Johnson, Dr. Don Finn, Dr. Elizabeth Hunter and Dr. Helen Stiff-Williams. Regent SOE faculty members are a very diverse group with regard to scholarship and faith perspectives," Jordan said. "This provides a base for information that reaches a broad-based audience both academically and spiritually."
"The authors come from diverse backgrounds and offer different applications to the kingdom laws yet stay true to Chancellor Robertson's original work," Arroyo adds. "We have all used the principles in some way during our tenure at Regent and believe that we all have the 'mind of Christ' in this matter."
Robertson is frequently reprimanded by different fundamentalists for different affirmed philosophical blunders. In the wake of going through "The Secret Kingdom", I see why. Robertson is by all accounts motivated by both the Word of Faith success gospel and some sort of postmillennialism (while denying both impacts).
A number of the thoughts in this book help me to remember Word of Faith teachings, yet they are advanced with an alternate phrasing. Robertson trusts that the kingdom of paradise is in the blink of an eye within reach, yet in an imperceptible and profound structure. Through confidence, Christians can venture into the forces of the undetectable kingdom and get marvels going in their lives. The creator trusts that Jesus uncovered 10 changeless profound laws, which if took after prompts satisfaction and flourishing for people, peace for countries and mending for the Earth. These incorporate the Law of Reciprocity, the Law of Use and the Law of Dominion. Robertson expresses that New Age and mainstream creators have found some of these laws, however are abusing them. He is likewise making careful effort to separation himself from the more amazing forms of Word of Faith religious philosophy. Christians now and again do endure or encounter tribulations, the laws just work on the off chance that you drive forward, countries must be joined to make the laws work for them, and so forth. Still, Robertson trusts that the "official" fundamentalist categories are feeling the loss of an essential part of the Christian message by just discussing reclamation and extreme salvation without specifying the common favors made conceivable by the Laws of the Kingdom. He likewise incorporates some amazing confirmation about individuals being raised from the dead or individuals tackled a voyage through Heaven, staples of magnetic and Word of Faith productions.
Since Robertson trusts that the otherworldly laws are material on a national or universal scale, by governments and establishments, it's misty how this is not quite the same as Dominion religious philosophy and postmillennialism. There is a pressure in the book between an obvious faith in a tremendously enhanced world made as of now before the second approach of Christ (the postmillennial position) and Robertson's ostensible philosophy, which sounds Dispensationalist and consequently premillennial. The standard situations about the Anti-Christ, the northern league and the ten country organization are all included, as is an exacting thousand years set up by Jesus at his second appearance, and a last defiance of Satan after the thousand years have finished. (In Robertson's form, the northern alliance are the ex-Soviet Muslim republics, while the ten countries are still the EU.)
"The Secret Kingdom" additionally contains tedious assaults against gays and lesbians, political rightness on grounds and women's liberation. These appear to be detached to the general connection of the book, yet clearly lets us know something of Robertson's more extensive plans. The creator additionally gloats about his associations with Zaire and a protracted meeting with Zambian president Chiluba. Robertson likewise makes the shockingly radical interest for a widespread cancelation of all obligation, both national obligations and individual obligations, a sort of all inclusive celebration. Else, he bolsters free market private enterprise. Robertson likewise underpins proceeded with financial development, the improvement of new vitality sources, and a proceeded with ascend in populace. By a wonder?
This is the primary book by Robertson I've read. "The New World Order" is his most famous work. I'll tackle it one week from now. Still, "The Secret Kingdom" is an intriguing prologue to the religious theories of Marion Gordon "Pat" Robertson.
