The Future Kingdom of God: A Present Reality and Our Blessed Hope Book

The kingdom of God is not explained anywhere in the New Testament, yet it seems to be everywhere understood. No explanation was ever needed, and so none was given. In The Future Kingdom of God: A Present Reality and Our Blessed Hope, author Father Steven Scherrer presents an in-depth study of the kingdom of God as it appears in the scriptures.

Based on an edited collection of original sermons and essays revolving around the New Testament doctrine of the kingdom of God, this thorough discussion provides a guide for those seeking insight into various aspects about the second coming of Jesus Christ. Some of the topics on which the essays reflect include

• the splendor of the kingdom of God now present, as seen in the Church's Advent and Christmas liturgies;

• the millennial hope as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy;

• the enchanted expectation of the Parousia, as seen in the Church's autumn liturgies;

• the longing to be found innocent in holiness at the coming of the Lord.

Using the scriptures and examples from the Bible, The Future Kingdom of God demonstrates how Christians can, by faith, now live in the splendor of God's kingdom present in their midst.
