2015 Book of the Year Award, Academy of Parish Clergy Amid
conflicting ideas about what the church should be and do in a
post-Christian climate, the missing voice is that of Paul. The New
Testament's most prolific church planter, Paul faced diverse
challenges as he worked to form congregations. Leading biblical
scholar James Thompson examines Paul's ministry of planting and
nurturing churches in the pre-Christian world to offer guidance for
the contemporary church. The church today, as then, must define
itself and its mission among people who have been shaped by other
experiences of community. Thompson shows that Paul offers an
unprecedented vision of the community that is being conformed to
the image of Christ. He also addresses contemporary
(mis)understandings of words like missional, megachurch, and
formation.
