Beskrivelse af The Fullness of Christ
In this groundbreaking study, John Howard Yoder searches for the New Testament vision of ministry. The author examines the vocabulary used by Paul and other New Testament writers in relation to the universal ministry of the church. The theological and sociological distinctions that have since developed between clergy and laity are also examined. Yoder concludes that the biblical texts point to the existence of a spirit-filled ministry given to all believers. While various offices of ministry are mentioned in the New Testament, the author argues that there was no laity as such in the early church. No distinctions were made between those who possessed spiritual gifts and those who did not. All members of the church were considered to have a valid ministry. Even though this radical concept of ""universal ministry"" was soon lost from the early church, it may serve as a catalyst for discussion today as the church faces increasing challenges in leadership.John Howard Yoder (1927-1997) earned his PhD from the University of Basel, and taught theology at the University of Notre Dame. For 19 years he served the Mennonite fellowship in church relations and education. Dr Yoder was Professor of Theology and President of Mennonite Bible Seminary. His published books include ''The Politics of Jesus'', ''The Priestly Kingdom'', ''To Hear the Word'', ''When War Is Unjust, What Would You Do?'', and ''He Came Preaching Peace''.
