You are the Christ; we are your church.
Christ and Community:The Gospel Witness to Jesus casts new light on how Jesus's followers sought to faithfully live into the reign of God as recorded in the Gospels. Dr.
Henderson traces the contours of Jesus's messiahship found in the
four Gospels, but rather than taking each Gospel in turn, she works
thematically, treating different aspects of Jesus's mission and identity
found across the four accounts. Rather than assuming Jesus's exclusive
status, the author exposes Gospel evidence for the clear communal
implications of his messiahship. It turns out that the Gospels do more
than simply affirm that Jesus is the Christ; they cast a vision of
messianic community for those who would call him Lord, in the first
century and beyond. This accessible introduction offers a case for
Christ and community that answers perplexing questions that have long
plagued NT study.
