Reviews

'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
