Jesus' Plan for a New World: The Sermon on the Mount

Jesus' Plan for a New World: The Sermon on the Mount by Richard Rohr. paperback edition. ISBN: 8601200418637.

When Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God, he was talking about an utterly different way of relating to human society as we know it. He was talking about a new world order, a term recently on the lips of politicians. What a false sense of the term they have used, contends popular preacher and author Richard Rohr. "I doubt that any major political leader would align a new world order in terms of cooperation, trust, service and redemptive suffering," writes Rohr. "For all the talk of a new world order, its simply the old world order. The New World Order, or the Reign of God, is the heart of the New Testament."
