Description
In the face of frequent and sometimes loose contemporary usage of the term 'born again' (which is the King James Version's rendering of a phrase from John 3:3), the authors of this book attempt to examine what the New Testament reveals about the process of being 'born from above' (which is a preferable translation of the Johannine phrase). The third chapter of the Gospel of John, with its grounding in Old Testament prophecy, is examined in detail in order to see what Jesus says about this process of birth; then four New Testament characters are discussed as test cases. On the basis of their analysis, the authors believe that 'birth from above' is not some sudden cataclysmic and definitive alteration in the life of an individual but rather the beginning of a process which takes place in company (and sometimes in conflict) with others, in order that the divine society envisioned by Jesus may come into existence and thus replace the wrangle of warring elements into which the world has been fractured. It is a means of bringing peace (which in the deepest Hebrew sense means ultimate well-being) into the world. This book attempts to illuminate the possibility of establishing a world society that understands itself to be the family of God.
