'The bride of Christ' and 'the cup of the Lord' are among many
terms in the New Testament that are simply taken for granted or
whose underlying symbolic or figurative meanings are not well
understood. The reader can easily assume that a passage is
understood without fully grasping the meaning of the terms used.
The Author's profound study of the implications of a hundred terms
in the New Testament offers a deeper understanding of what the
Christian Church really is. This pioneering work allows the reader
to uncover the true nature of the Church through the extensive
gallery of images in the New Testament. The range of connotations
communicated by a particular image is analysed against the
historical background. Paul Minear shows that images can
communicate more than language alone; they can also broaden the
mind of an individual, forming a particular mode for perceiving and
understanding a given reality. The minor images of the church in
the New Testament are investigated through to the people of God and
the body of Christ. The final chapter assesses the interrelations
of the images analysed and the inferences to be drawn from their
interweaving. Paul S. Minear is Professor Emeritus of Biblical
Theology at Yale University. 'A book that deserves to be reprinted
- and read' From the Preface by Leander E. Keck
