THE KINGDOM MANDATE RESTORED : A Theological Reconstruction of Genesis 1:28 Through the Kingdom Parables

In The Kingdom Mandate Restored: A Theological Reconstruction of Genesis 1:28 Through the Kingdom Parables, Goodson Mumba presents a bold and integrative vision of Scripture, arguing that humanity’s original mandate to exercise dominion was not canceled by the Fall but recovered through Christ and clarified in the Kingdom parables.
Moving beyond purely devotional readings, this groundbreaking work reframes stewardship as the core of redemptive theology. Through careful theological reconstruction, Mumba demonstrates how Jesus’ parables reveal principles of governance, accountability, productivity, and ethical management — restoring humanity’s call to steward talent, people, resources, and creation under divine authority.
This book challenges readers to see salvation not merely as rescue from sin, but as restoration to function. The Cross becomes mandate recovery. Discipleship becomes capacity development. The Church becomes a training ground for governance. And eternity becomes the stage for productive worship.
Rich in biblical insight and practical implications, The Kingdom Mandate Restored invites leaders, theologians, and believers to embrace a faith that governs, cultivates, and builds — advancing God’s Kingdom through faithful, ethical, and harmonious stewardship.
