how can i possibly begin to define & give directions about "the kingdom of god" in this paper? jesus himself could only teach about it through parables! it's not a formula, or a school of criticism, or a denomination. it just is or isn't. this is a joke. god, are you laughing? throw a girl a bone!

how are the kingdom of god and global citizenship related? how can christian colleges nurture the two in students? can they possibly begin to move away from portraying jesus' "message" or "good news" (such limiting terms in and of themselves) as merely a truth claim (which is not to be underestimated, of course) but as a mustard seed and portion of yeast? these thoughts are so hard to organize into a treatise...
