The People Called cover

In this unique work, Paul Hanson traces the concept of "community" from its early biblical origins through the end of the apostolic age. This edition includes a chapter devoted to the contemporary implications of this concept and in his new introduction, the author further explores the importance of this theme.

'Paul Hanson has taken on this prodigious job and not only succeeded marvellously, he has done well something few have even dared assay... Hanson [traces] the basic concept of 'community' from its earliest biblical origins through... to the end of the apostolic age. 'Community' is a key and critical category in all theology today. No previous book I know has ever... presented so well what the whole Bible teaches us about it.' Harvey Cox, Harvard Divinity School and author of The Secular City
