Thirty six times in the gospel of Matthew alone, Jesus makes mention of either 'the Kingdom of God' or 'the Kingdom of Heaven.' With this topic being of such importance to the Lord, how unfortunate it is that Christians are so divided and even down-right confused as to what exactly this 'kingdom' is. In this work Kent Young sets out to answer the question as to what this "Kingdom" that Jesus mentions so frequently actually is, and to look into how an understanding of the kingdom affects the rest of Jesus' ethical teaching in the Sermon on the Mount.
