Kingdom of Heaven, City of God is a series of reflections on the life, teaching, death, and resurrection of Jesus, read through the central theme of the Kingdom of God. From the first proclamation of the Kingdom in the Gospels to its fulfilment in Christ’s Passion and Resurrection, this book follows the thread of the Kingdom through the whole of his mission.
Drawing closely on Scripture, these meditations explore how the Kingdom is revealed in parables, in miracles, in acts of mercy, and in the call to repentance and faith. The Kingdom is not presented as an abstract idea, but as a reality made present in Christ, and one which takes shape in the life of the believer.

Written in a spirit of prayer and careful reading of the Gospels, this book invites the reader to follow Christ, to understand his message, and to seek the Kingdom he proclaims.
