Christ and His Church-Bride invites readers into the profound theological insights of Meredith G. Kline, one of the twentieth century’s most original Reformed biblical theologians.
In this unique volume, Danny E. Olinger explores Kline’s sustained engagement with the book of Revelation—a text Kline called “the fairest gem in Scripture.” Drawing from Kline’s unpublished student thesis, published writings, sermons, and archival materials, Olinger presents a comprehensive account of Kline’s interpretation of the Apocalypse through a covenantal and redemptive-historical lens.
The book is organized in four parts: a survey of Kline’s writings on Revelation, a collection of his sermons, a compact commentary built from Kline’s own words, and a rich anthology of biblical- theological insights. At the heart of this study lies Kline’s vision of the church as the Spirit-transformed bride of Christ, journeying from imperfection in this world to glorious perfection in the new heavens and new earth.
Olinger demonstrates how Kline’s biblical theology—shaped by Geerhardus Vos, grounded in the Reformed tradition, and expressed through a distinctive covenantal framework—provides vital clarity to the complex imagery of Revelation. The result is a deeply edifying resource that equips pastors, theologians, and lay readers alike to behold the triumph of Christ and the eschatological hope of his church.
