Religion Redeemed: Understanding God's Kingdom and the Reality of Spiritual Warfare

Synopsis

In 'Religion Redeemed: Understanding God's Kingdom and the Reality of Spiritual Warfare', Rev. Godwin Boso addresses a pervasive confusion in contemporary faith: the distinction between genuine religion and its counterfeit. Boso contends that the issue isn't religion itself, but rather the prevalence of false religion that distorts God's truth. The book meticulously explores the biblical basis for understanding Christianity as a divinely revealed religion, fundamentally different from humanly devised systems. Central to his argument is the assertion that the Kingdom of God is not a mere abstract concept but a tangible, active governing system actively engaged in a cosmic conflict with a 'Kingdom of Darkness'. This spiritual warfare, Boso argues, is a palpable reality, particularly evident in regions like Africa, and stems directly from this clash of kingdoms. Drawing upon scriptural insights, Kingdom theology, and apostolic teachings, 'Religion Redeemed' offers a balanced perspective that confronts the reality of spiritual conflict head-on. It grounds this struggle in the ultimate authority, truth, and dominion of Christ, providing believers with a framework to understand and navigate this spiritual landscape. The book aims to equip pastors, leaders, students, and devoted followers to discern between authentic faith and deceptive practices, grasp Christianity within a paradigm of divine governance, and engage in spiritual warfare from a position of Christ-given authority rather than fear. It is a call to align with God's established order, fostering doctrinal clarity and spiritual maturity, ultimately presenting Christianity as a powerful, transformative force of light and righteousness against the encroaching darkness.
