Mystery of the Kingdom: On the Gospel of Matthew

by Edward Sri

Overview

Mystery of the Kingdom is a refreshing Bible study on the Gospel of Matthew that focuses on the "kingdom of God." Why is the kingdom at the heart of Jesus' teaching? What were Jesus' contemporaries expecting? What did Jesus actually say about His kingdom? What is the relationship between the "kingdom" and the Catholic Church we see today?

Join popular Scripture professor Edward P. Sri for a faithful exploration of Jesus' "kingdom-building" mission. Sri's accessible style and provocative study questions make this book ideal for individual or group study.

Endorsement - Curtis Martin

Edward Sri has moved us beyond the typical modern limitations in reading Matthew. Read this book attentively, then, and you'll come to a deeper love of the people and the religion of Israel, the people and the religion of our Messiah and King.
