“After This” or The Church, The Kingdom, and The Glory
Overview
Grasp the significance of the “the Kingdom of Heaven”—for doctrine, devotion, and everyday life. Philip Mauro argues that God’s great work is to introduce the Kingdom of heaven into this age. In fact, this is the prominent subject of the New Testament. Arguing that this concept is the interpretive key to unlocking the meaning of this present age, Mauro explains the Kingdom of Heaven’s place in God’s plan. He constructs a thorough definition, outlines its timing and location, and explains who is in and who is outside of the Kingdom.
