Vision for the Church: Studies in Early Christian Ecclesiology

How did its earliest members understand this body of which they had become a part?This is a textbook collection of fifteen essays by an international group of New Testament experts. They bring together a dynamic range of perspectives on how the early Christians viewed the Church: its origins, purpose and relation to Jewish Scriptures and to Jesus Christ; its place in the world and in God's plan; its community life and worship, in theory and in practiceReview Quotes: 'Filled with penetrating insights, this synthetic collection delivers far more than its title indicates.' Casimir Bernas, Religious Studies ReviewBiographical Note: Dr Markus Bockmuehl is Professor of Biblical and Early Christian Studies at the University of St Andrews, UK. Dr Michael B. Thompson is Director of Studies and Lecturer in New Testament, Ridley Hall, University of Cambridge.
