Anxiety, insecurity, military power, racial prejudice, heavy taxes-all these problems of contemporary life were also faced by those who first heard the teaching of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. In this book Clarence Jordan points out that this Sermon presents many of the major features of the kingdom of God on earth that Jesus was proposing. Not only has the author done a masterful job of interpreting Jesus' words; he has also demonstrated their meaning through his work at Koinonia Farm in Americus, Georgia.
