First published in 1960, Minear's classic work remains unmatched in identifying and explicating the numerous images of the church found throughout the New Testament. Each metaphor is coordinated with the church's origin in Israel, its expression of God's creation, its fellowship in faith, and its membership in Christ's body. For students, pastors, and laypeople. 294 pages, softcover from Westminster John Knox.

First published in 1960, Paul Minear's classic work identifies and explicates ninety-six images for the church found in the New Testament. Comprehensive and accessibly written, it has been used in seminary classes for over thirty years. Its range of reach and incredibly rich discussions of the many images and metaphors make this book a splendid resource for students and pastors.

The New Testament Library offers authoritative commentary on every book and major aspect of the New Testament, as well as classic volumes of scholarship. The commentaries in this series provide fresh translations based on the best available ancient manuscripts, offer critical portrayals of the historical world in which the books were created, pay careful attention to their literary design, and present a theologically perceptive exposition of the text.

Paul Sevier Minear was Winkley Professor Emeritus of Biblical Theology at Yale Divinity School. Among his numerous books are Images of the Church in the New Testament and The Kingdom and the Power: An Exposition of the New Testament Gospel.
