Description

2015 Book of the Year Award, Academy of Parish ClergyAmid conflicting ideas about what the church should be and do in a post-Christian climate, the missing voice is that of Paul.

The New Testament's most prolific church planter, Paul faced diverse challenges as he worked to form congregations.

Leading biblical scholar James Thompson examines Paul's ministry of planting and nurturing churches in the pre-Christian world to offer guidance for the contemporary church.

The church today, as then, must define itself and its mission among people who have been shaped by other experiences of community.

Thompson shows that Paul offers an unprecedented vision of the community that is being conformed to the image of Christ.

He also addresses contemporary (mis)understandings of words like missional, megachurch, and formation.
