I was skeptical to pick up this book, thinking it might be over my head, but found it to be very understandable! This book clearly works through the idea of the "two kingdoms" and how Christians relate to both. The book has many insights into the confusion existing between Christians who are seeking to change this world in comparison with those who see what is temporary (the Noahic covenant) and the Redemptive Kingdom, the Church in particular. Based on what I consider to be sound biblical study, the author reveals the huge difference between the systems designed by God to operate the world in an organized fashion. I have had very little knowledge of this prior to this fine book. What I was suprised about was the inspiring way VanDrunen brings into view the fulfillment in Christ of the Redemptive Kingdom, which is the Church at this point in history. It made me just love Coram Deo in so many ways, and I have come to a much bigger commitment to its ongoing ministry in every respect. The book will definitely challenge what you believe, but will thrill your heart for what you glean! I need to reread it at some later time, just to gather in a few more insights! It is definitely in keeping with the purity of Reformed beliefs, including overtones to an amillennial view of history, which I have come to see as totally viable. Lots of questions remain, but it makes it all the more satisfying to continue to seek truth! Sincerely, KL
