The Greatness of the Kingdom

In this episode, Paul Scharf, editor in chief of Dispensational Publishing House, Inc., serves as guest host.

We will continue the discussion begun on last week's program, focusing in today on one of the greatest classical dispensational books of all time—"The Greatness of the Kingdom" by Alva J. McClain (Moody Press, 1968).

Here are some of the topics we will consider:

• Who was Alva J. McClain?
• What makes his book so helpful?
• What kingdom did he describe?
• What is the difference between God’s universal kingdom and the theocratic (millennial) kingdom? 
• When will the theocratic kingdom arrive?
• What is God’s goal or purpose for history?
• How does understanding this goal for history help us to grasp other great themes of Scripture?
• How does Old Testament Israel relate to the theocratic kingdom?
• How does the New Testament church relate to the theocratic kingdom?
• How does understanding these issues influence our theology and our practice?
• Why do we need more (and new) books that can impact the church in a manner similar to "The Greatness of the Kingdom"?
