In today s multi-faith society faith traditions §can t be taken for granted so a definition of terms §is necessary for dialogue both within and between §groups. The concept of church is common in the §New Testament but what exactly does it mean? The §Bible, in part, uses metaphors to describe church , §one of which is temple of God . However, modern §society is unfamiliar with the concept of temple §and so its meaning and impact is lost. This book §analyses a selection of the writings of the Apostle §Paul who uses this particular metaphor to instruct §believers. Five passages are analyzed with regard §to such matters as the indwelling of believers by §the Holy Spirit, cleansing of sin, oneness with §Christ, idolatry and separation from evil. Paul s §Jewish background provides the foundation for his §beliefs and so the analysis includes an examination §of Old Testament passages which comment on the §tabernacle/temple of the ancient Hebrews. This §analysis should enhance understanding of the §biblical concept of church and will be useful for §Christians wanting to broaden their view of what it §means to follow Christ.
