Items related to The Gospel of the Kingdom
In this insightful book, Philip Mauro seeks to demonstrate how the Kingdom of God is alive and vibrant all around us, and need not be divided into dispensations.
In this thorough refutation of the dispensation movement, Mauro demonstrates how the dispensationalist traditions of the past are simply untrue. He examines each of the seven principles, and sets them against the words of the Holy Scripture, demonstrating how each is inconsistent with what is taught in the Bible.
Mauro doggedly cites the Bible throughout this text, explaining the deeper passages with the clarity only a gifted and studied preacher acquires. His firm belief is that the truest Christianity - whereby believers gain closeness of God and His Kingdom - is not to be found in the tenets of dispensationalism, but the original Holy Bible.
Although composed in the 1920s, Mauro's book shines with clarity and retains its relevance to this day. The purpose of the book is to bring Christians back to the core teachings of the Bible, and away from the dispensational narratives which Mauro considered to be a corrupting and ultimately destructive influence on the faith.
For Mauro and those like-minded, closeness to the Kingdom of God is attainable directly from the words of Jesus Christ and his disciples, together with the remainder of the New Testament. To understand the truest gospel, one need only consult the sermons of Jesus and those who knew Him.

About the Author:
Philip Mauro (1859-1952) stands out as one of the most captivating Christian writers of the Twentieth Century. For many years, he was a patent lawyer who argued cases before the United States Supreme Court, and he earned international recognition due to his successful handling of the French Artillery case against the U.S. Government, the Westinghouse Air Brake case, and other prominent cases. In 1903, at the height of his professional career, Mauro was converted to Christianity, and from that time forward, his chief occupation was the study of Scripture and the application of his keen intellect to biblical subjects. Initially embracing the Dispensational views propagated by the popular Scofield Reference Bible in his early years as a Christian, Mauro wrote several books and pamphlets from that perspective until coming to the conclusion that the system was grossly erroneous, and even heretical in its basic presuppositions. Although the more blatant errors of classic Scofieldism were downplayed by later writers, enough of the original system's influence remains in the Dispensationalism of today to warrant continued study of Mauro's meticulous rebuttals. His other works include The Hope of Israel, The Wonders of Bible Chronology, Evolution at the Bar, and his massive commentary on the Book of Revelation entitled, Things Which Must Soon Come to Pass.
