Description
Millions have caught Karl Marx's vision of a New Man and a New Society. "Paul presents a greater vision still," writes John Stott. In his letter to the Ephesians the apostle "sees the human predicament as something even deeper than the injustice of the economic structure and so propounds a yet more radical solution. He writes of nothing less than a 'new creation.'"John Stott expounds Paul's theme of uniting all things in Christ by uniting his church and breaking down all that separates us from God, one ethnic group from another, husband from wife, parent from child, master from slave. A book for all who want to build the church into the new society God has planned it to be.

I loved this book. What great insight into this book, and the whole idea of the church, and the mystery of God. I highly recommend this book.
LibraryThing member Paul_Brunning
The vision of a renewed community, as described in Paul's letter to the Ephesians, set against today's background of alienation and strife.
