    The Theocratic Kingdom of Our Lord Jesus, the Christ, as Covenanted in The Old Testament, and Presented in The New Testament BY Rev. George N. H. Peters, A.M. Originally published in 1884, The Theocratic Kingdom has gone through many printings and is still in print today. The original publishers were Funk & Wagnalls, but now are printed by Kregel Publishers. The books are divided into 206 propositions, each stating a point of importance with regard to the Kingdom of God, and then giving proof for that proposition, often using the texts of those writers that disagreed with him! ----- Books Get this book in print▼ Books on Google Play The Theocratic Kingdom of Our Lord Jesus: The Christ, as Covenanted in the Old Testament, and Presented in the New Testament, Volume 3 Front Cover Funk & Wagnalls, 1884 - Covenant theology 1 Review Preview this book » What people are saying - Write a review User Review - Flag as inappropriate I have read the entire three volumnes of Mr. Peters work as well as skimming through it on several occasions as well as using it for referrence in the many subjects that I have studied through the years and I still find his work to be the most important writing on nearly every Biblical subject imaginable, surpassing, by far, the writings of other, supposed, eminent Scholars. His exhaustive work lays the foundation of the Premillenial Faith on the Oath Bound Covenants contained in the Old Testament and goes on to show that this was the faith of the Pious Jews at the Time of Y'shua; the faith preached by John the Baptist; the faith committed to the Apostles by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself; the faith "delivered to the saints" by those Apostles directly commisssioned by the Divine Master; and the Faith of the Church Fathers and Universal Church for over three hundred years after the Church was founded - many of which shed their blood for adherence to that faith. He strategically utilizes the words of those opposed to the Chilistic Doctrine to permanently destroy their own - hopelessly languishing - system of belief - which not a single one of them has even tried to refute in over 100 years - and returns the reader to the Premillenial Foundation upon which the Church once stood. In my opinion there is not one single book that should be read of more importance then the Sacrifice of Love written by the Master Theologian Mr. George N. H. Peters' the Theocratic Kingdom.
