x, 158 p. 23 cm. Christian communities today often use biblical images, such as rock, fortress, or temple, to understand the nature of church. These images of permanence and strength represent only one part of biblical tradition. The predominant New Testament images, Robert Kysar argues, show the church as dynamic, growing, and changing the church on the way home, stumbling in the light. This skillful exploration of key themes in the gospels and Paul will benefit pastors and all others who search for ways to encourage faith communities to thrive in the midst of a changing cul-ture, as well as those interested in the New Testament's metaphors and the development of early Christian identity.
