The Kingdom of God: The Sermon on the Mount

This simple, spiritually rich commentary exhorts readers to embrace and apply Jesus' Sermon on the Mount as a logical sequence of spiritual development. The author addresses day-to-day concerns in the light of Jesus' teaching: job and workplace; money and material possessions; morality; ecumenism; and our increasingly litigious society.

The author explains the Greek and Hebrew etymologies of controversial words and phrases and places them within the context of the entire Orthodox Christian ascetical, moral, and spiritual tradition.
