In The Kingdom of God, which was first published in 1959, author Francis D. Breisch Jr. himself perfectly summarizes the message of the Old Testament: "It exhibits the unity which exists in the Old Testament. It shows the historical development of God's work of redemption. It emphasizes the fact that the entire Old Testament prepares for the coming of Christ, the eternal King. To trace the growth of the Kingdom of God is to keep one's finger on the pulse of God's redemptive program. Throughout the guide I have attempted to point out the various ways in which the Kingdom of God comes to expression in the Old Testament." In his own words, Francis D. Breisch Jr.'s book is geared towards the high school student-"reflected in both form and content"-but readers of all ages will find this volume extremely informative in its expression of the way in which God's kingdom developed over the centuries.
