4.0 out of 5 starsBecome the gospel!
By J P Romack on July 24, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have read with appreciation some of Gorman's previous work on Paul. He writes clearly and well. You know where he stands. This book is described as an effort in the budding field of "missional hermeneutics." Basically the author is saying that Paul is concerned that the churches with whom he is involved should be living as God's people for God's purposes in the world, that is, as followers of Jesus who is the Christ, missional people. Gorman explains in detail how what Paul writes to the churches is encouragement, correction and instruction on how one participates in Christ and in so doing becomes the gospel (good news) for the world. This is a good book especially for those who might read Paul without a thought of mission in their minds. It seems amazing to me that it's taken this long for NT scholars to get to a "missional hermeneutic." I suppose it's a forest and trees kind of thing. What other gorillas are walking around in scripture, invisible to us, because of our perceptual blindness? I'd like to give this book 4.5 stars. Wish the star rating system were not so blunt a tool.

5.0 out of 5 starsGorman for this beautiful and inspiring meditation on Paul's call to the communities ...
By Stephen B. Bevans on October 2, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a really important book, giving an additional scriptural depth to the Missional Church movement, and, at least for me, opening up new ways to speak about the missionary nature of the church. I am truly grateful to Michael J. Gorman for this beautiful and inspiring meditation on Paul's call to the communities he had founded and/or nurtured to embody the gospel in their community life and public witness.

Outstanding book. Dr. Gorman's is a great read for clergy, Lay persons and academics. He artfully presents a topic to all three reader types. I have recommended this book to all United Methodist of the Baltimore-Washington Conference
