Based on a series of four lectures, this book covers the Jerusalem temple, the Enoch traditions (the role of theosis the human becoming divine – which is central to Orthodox theology, the original meaning of the Son of God and the role of Knowledge/wisdom in all this); the High Priesthood (including Melchizedek, and Jesus as Melchizedek in Hebrews, as the resurrected priest, the bringer of the Kingdom, as in the Dead Sea Scrolls); the Revelation the coming of the Kingdom and how these pre-Christian visions inspired Jesus’ own preaching of the Kingdom.
Lastly there is a chapter on what the Church did with the idea of the Kingdom and what it means now, including environmental significance.
