The Kingdom. The thing Jesus seemingly preached the most, yet remains the elephant in the room for almost any Christian denomination. Metanoia, or a radical change of mind is the attitude of the Kingdom, and Agape the way. While we tend to focus on Heaven as remote both physically and in the temporal sense Jesus announced the Kingdom had arrived and was something available here and now, now that he had come. Again, the whole of the Law is to Love God and then yourself as your neighbor, simple maxims if acted out via the imperatives in this book and by extension the New Testament, results in no less than a radical shift in thinking.
Mr. Moore in places has an agenda. Who doesn't? Politics aside, the book is a much needed way station for the soul.
