In the last days of the twentieth century, leading New Testament scholar and popular preacher Daniel Harrington, S.J., asked himself two powerful questions: What might the church of the first century have to say to the church of the twenty-first century? And How might a brief sythesis of what the New Testament says and does not say about the church help bring greater vitality within and unity among the churches? The result of Father Harrington's research and thinking is this timely and important book.
Clearly written and carefully organized, this book avoids technical jargon and is always informative, even for the specialist. Most importantly, its overall design enables it to be used on a variety of levels; as a supplemental text for courses in ecclesiology, as an introductory text for college religion courses, and as a resource for parish adult educationnnn * New Theology Review *
