The Body of Faith : Israel and Church

The first part of the book deals with Israel in the theology of Judaism, Israel as a kingdom of priests and holy nation, Israel as family, and Israel as (Christian) Rome. The second part examines Jesus and the absence of Israel, the Israel of James, the community of "Q" and Peter, and the church (ekklesia) in the Synoptic Gospels, Paul, Hebrews, and Revelation.
