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 thefour Gospels, but rather than taking each Gospel in turn, she worksthematically, treating different aspects of Jesus's mission and identityfound across the four accounts. Rather than assuming Jesus's exclusivestatus, the author exposes Gospel evidence for the clear communalimplications of his messiahship. It turns out that the Gospels do morethan simply affirm that Jesus is the Christ; they cast a vision ofmessianic community for those who would call him Lord, in the firstcentury and beyond. This accessible introduction offers a case forChrist and community that answers perplexing questions that have longplagued NT study.
