The introduction does close to nothing to actually helping a reader understand what precisely the Kingdom of God. It seems to have been noted as long ago as December 2004 by Dr Zen, however one can read the introduction and still come away with no idea what the Kingdom of Heaven is. Obviously this is an extremely hard notion to sum up in a few sentences, however an attempt must be made to try and simplify the introduction, from which the following bullet points can then support. Rock_Rose 19:13, 22 Nov, 2006 (UTC) It's a key concept in Christianity, but, like quantum mechanics, rather difficult to explain . Perhaps, as Feynman said, if you find it confusing, you don't really understand it. Paulhummerman ( talk) 20:32, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Should we capitalize "Kingdom" in the phrase "Kingdom of God" or "Kingdom of Heaven"? Joja lozzo 01:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Comment - In a discussion in WikiProject Christianity talk page about the application of capitalization guidelines in Christianity articles, there was little support for capitalizing "kingdom" in the phrase "kingdom of God" or "kingdom of Heaven". I think participants view "kingdom" to be a common noun in that usage. That many primary sources (i.e. English translations of the Bible) do not capitalize it may reinforce that determination. Joja lozzo 01:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
* Comment - It looks like most bibles and sources don't capitalize it, so it shouldn't be capitalized. If someone has evidence this isn't the majority usage, I'd change my mind. Gsonnenf ( talk) 20:32, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

As someone who isn't very versed in theology, this article left me a little confused. It has quite lengthy passages on the origin of the term, but the lead doesn't even say what it is, only that it is a "foundational concept". I realize there's different viewpoints on what exactly it's supposed to be, but could someone who better understands this perhaps list some of these ideas in the lead?

I am not going to work on this article, but I do suggest that as in Holy Spirit or Son of Man this should become an overview, with two other pages devoted to Judaism and Christianity. There are 4 or 5 tags on this article, and I think7 too few. It is full of errors and problems.
As an example error take the statement that "Kingdom of God appears in 1 Chronicles 29:10-12. It does not. "Yours is the kingdom" does. In fact The term "Kingdom of God" does not appear in the Old Testament, although "his Kingdom" and "your Kingdom" are used in some cases when referring to God: Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible by Kevin J. Vanhoozer, N. T. Wright, Daniel J. Treier and Craig Bartholomew (20 Jan 2006) ISBN 0801026946 page 420.
So divide and conquer the errors, one at a time within the relevant context in 2 separate articles on Judaism and Christianity. one article should be called Kingship of God (Judaism) the other Kingdom of God (Christianity) given the differences and this should be renamed Kingship and Kingdom of God as the overview as in the Holy Spirit article.

The term "Holy Kingdom" is strangely absent from this article. It is at this time a redirect which points here. - Inowen ( talk) 00:41, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
