RT Book T1 Becoming the gospel: Paul, participation, and mission T2 The Gospel and our culture series A1 Gorman, Michael J. 1955- LA English PP Grand Rapids, Michigan PB William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company YR 2015 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1694898903 AB The first detailed exegetical treatment of Paul's letters from the emerging discipline of missional hermeneutics, Michael Gorman's Becoming the Gospel argues that Paul's letters invite Christian communities both then and now to not merely believe the gospel but to become the gospel and, in doing so, to participate in the life and mission of God. Showing that Pauline churches were active public participants in and witnesses to the gospel, Gorman reveals the missional significance of various themes in Paul's letters. He also identifies select contemporary examples of mission in the spirit of Paul, inviting all Christians to practice Paul-inspired imagination in their own contexts.--Publisher NO Includes bibliographical references (pages 306-321) and indexes CN BS2650.52 SN 1467442984 SN 9781467442985 K1 Bible : Epistles of Paul : Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Bible K1 Mission of the church : Biblical teaching K1 Missions : Biblical teaching K1 RELIGION ; Biblical Studies ; New Testament K1 RELIGION ; Biblical Studies ; Paul's Letters K1 Mission of the church ; Biblical teaching K1 Missions ; Biblical teaching K1 Criticism, interpretation, etc
