商品簡介
Even today, says Spense (New Testament and theology, Burleigh College, Adelaide) too many Christians persist in reading New Testament documents as though the Church as it now exists were already a conceptual, if not social reality. He finds in those documents discussions of the struggle of a new religious movement to establish itself as an independent community. His emphasis is on the conflict between those who wanted to remain a sect of Judaism and those who wanted to be a cult of Rome. Distributed by the David Brown Book Company.
