The volume focuses on 'church' (the 'significant other' to Jesus). Highlighting the Roman Imperial setting of the New Testament, and the common use of the word 'ekklesia' in that setting, he presents a case for understanding that the calling of the church was indeed political, in the sense of seeking to be an agent for the transformation of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.....\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplorations in Theology is a series of short books that offer some fresh perspectives on common themes. They are certainly not the final word, but are intended to open possibilities beyond a theology that selects a narrow set of 'proof-texts' (while ignoring others). Written in simple language, never demanding agreement with the author, they will become a resource to develop one's own convictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916421644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916421646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boz Publications Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Martin Scott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587942232319,"sku":"9781916421646","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/significant-other-martin-scott-9781916421646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
