Description: Throughout the biblical story, the people of God are expected to embody God’s holy character publicly. Therefore, holiness is a theological and ecclesial issue prior to being a matter of individual piety. Holiness and Ecclesiology in the New Testament offers serious engagement with a variety of New Testament and Qumran documents in order to stimulate churches to imagine anew what it might mean to be a publicly identifiable people who embody God’s very character in their particular social setting. Subjects: Bible, New Testament, Literature
