It's both a bit pricey for a casual purchase, and a bit dry. I ended up getting a decent price from an Amazon alternate vendor, but I'm not seeing anything much cheaper than Amazon's price now.
Regnum Caelorum is a nail in the coffin lid of dispensationalism's weird little mis-history of the early church. ("They were just like us!" No, they really weren't.) But, you can lead a dispensationalist to a text, but you can't make him read.
I've got so much to read. Currently working through the brand new Word, Water and Spirit by J. V. Fesko, on baptism.
