"The study of the house church, we will see, takes us to the heart of many basic issues in early Christianity. We will focus on Paul's churches, but we must look to other later texts, both New Testament and extra-biblical, for insights and hints about the nature of the communities. Because the existence of such house churches was not an issue for him, Paul says little directly about them as such. His instructions about church life, however, become more understandable when read from the perspective of a household communitiy and at the same time shed light on these groups."--Introduction

It is in Paul that the most profound and clearly developed understanding of community is found. Indeed, what the apostle has to say about community is relevant to far more than just the way people get together in churches. In this timely study, the author examines and clarifies Paul's idea of community, placing it in its historical context (comparing Paul and the Stoic and Epicurean and Cynical phiosophers, the Hellenistic mystery cults, and first-century Judaism), and drawing out its significance both sociologically and theologically. According to him, the essence of Paul idea of community is freedom. The freedom that Christ brings to a person means not only independence (from selfish desires and from the law) but also dependence (for the freedom is given by Christ, not earned) and interdependence (it must be lived out in the community). Of the several images Paul uses to describe the community, the author focuses on two: body (depicting the goal of development or growth) and family (dpeicting the goal of harmony). He goes on to discuss the various aspects of the community: the physical expressions of community: "spiritual gifts" and their role in the community; the role of women and racial minorities in the community; and the relationship of Paul himself and his apostolic endeavours to the community.
