Plot

Is the Kingdom already realized when people live in the Christian ethic, or does it await fulfillment in the Second Coming? In this penetrating analysis, Dr. Mark Saucy shows that how we answer such questions is far from being merely an academic issue. He holds that emphasizing the "already" or social aspect of the Kingdom over the "not yet" or apocalyptic aspect results in failed utopianism and devaluation of the Church as the contemporary expression of the Kingdom.
