Abstract: Since the Reformation (at least), it has become traditional to treat separately the covenantal, proverbial, and prophetic materials of Scripture. Briefly surveying each corpus, this paper shows that they present a single and unified vision of the community of the Kingdom of God-a community characterized by justice and its consequences, viz., security, peace, and the common weal-the welfare of every individual within that community. This harmony, the great continuity among the biblical visions of the Kingdom, reveals that the God who established the covenant, inspired the wise, and spoke through the prophets is deeply and eternally concerned with justice, a justice that grows out of his very person and reflects his ongoing work in the world and reveals the end toward which he is moving all things.
