Missing Lenses: How reading scripture with the first century church can help us find our lost identity

More about the book

Focusing on the communal aspect of scripture, this book argues that the Bible is primarily addressed to the believing community rather than individuals. Tom Holland presents a compelling case that modern interpretations have overlooked the community's essential role in God's plan, leading to misreadings of key texts. This shift has resulted in a diminished experience of the promises of scripture for those living as a Spirit-filled people. Written for non-academic readers, the updated edition offers insights into the importance of community in understanding biblical teachings.
