What makes this volume satisfying is that, so to speak, everything is there … There are reflections on philosophy, anthropology, systematic theology, sociology, and geography. This type of cross-study is certainly commendable, as he digs through an impressively wide range of materials … Schreiner has done a service by bringing a neglected topic to notice. His work deserves attention as a call to examine the “where” or “space” of the “kingdom of heaven,” and broaden our understanding of the space.
