e teacher J. Dwight Pentecost traces the sweeping history of the kingdom program from eternity past to eternity future, relating it to the development of the covenant promises. Some of the key issues discussed in the book include:
- How do interpretations of the "Kingdom of God" differ? - How can we distinguish the various covenants of the Old Testament? - How does the church today relate to the covenants made with Israel? - What will the future kingdom be like?

Pentecost combines a long scholarly and pastoral history with a style readily accessible to the general Christian reader to create a welcome resource for anyone seeking a more complete understanding of God's kingdom program.
