It emphasizes the Kingdom of God as the fundamental object and the integral or holistic theme of the theology of I. Ellacuria. It explains that the religious dimension of the Kingdom of God is integrated within the praxis of the church of the poor and it also has 'essential reference' that it has with the world and history. Therefore it puts emphasis on the implications of the meaning of the concept of the Kingdom of God for the life and faith of the Christians and the church. It also highlights the relationship between the meaning of following Jesus and its ecclesial praxis. It starts with the analysis of the texts that deal with the referred theme from the author. Besides the central categories of the theology of Ellacuria, it includes also the perspectives of other authors in order to broaden the understanding of the central concepts of Ellacurian theology.
