From the Introduction, p. 14:
"If there is one theme more than another that runs throughout the essays collected in this volume it is the immediacy and realism with which the Kingdom of God apprehended by Jesus and actualized by Him through His life, death and resurrection, bears upon our daily life. In Jesus Himself the absolute of God has reached us in a context of grace and power."
