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. </span> </p><br>
