Publisher's Synopsis
Lukas Vischer, Ulrich Luz, and Christian Link argue that even a brief look at the New Testament reveals that God in Christ desires to create a community united in love. In fact, this unity is a permanent and never-ending task of the church.
Unity of the Church in the New Testament and Today offers reflections about what one can learn from the New Testament and what this means in the life of the church today. It surveys how the Christian movement struggled for unity in the first century. Finally it contains a systematic-theological reflection on that struggle and thereby draws conclusions for today's church.
