Throughout the biblical story, the people of God are expected to embody God's holy character publicly. Therefore, holiness is a theological and ecclesial issue before being a matter of individual piety. Holiness and Ecclesiology in the New Testament offer serious engagement with a variety of New Testament and Qumran documents to stimulate churches to imagine anew what it might mean to be publicly identifiable people who embody God's very character in their particular social setting.
