In today's multi-faith society faith traditions can't be taken for granted so a definition of terms is necessary for dialogue both within and between groups. The concept of "church" is common in the New Testament but what exactly does it mean? The Bible, in part, uses metaphors to describe "church", one of which is "temple of God". However, modern society is unfamiliar with the concept of "temple" and so its meaning and impact is lost. This book analyses a selection of the writings of the Apostle Paul who uses this particular metaphor to instruct believers. Five passages are analyzed with regard to such matters as the indwelling of believers by the Holy Spirit, cleansing of sin, oneness with Christ, idolatry and separation from evil. Paul's Jewish background provides the foundation for his beliefs and so the analysis includes an examination of Old Testament passages which comment on the tabernacle/temple of the ancient Hebrews. This analysis should enhance understanding of the biblical concept of "church" and will be useful for Christians wanting to broaden their view of what it means to follow Christ.
