SIGNIFICANT OTHER


SIGNIFICANT OTHER : volume two


 

In this second volume of the series (Explorations in Theology), Martin Scott suggests that our familiarity with certain words can cause us to inject a meaning into them that can obscure how those words would have been understood in their original setting. 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.

 

 

ABOUT THE SERIES:

Explorations 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.
