Becoming Community

A thorough exploration of the nature of community and interpersonal relationships as revealed in Sacred Scripture, Becoming Community guides readers in reflecting on particular passages from both the Old and New Testaments concerning the circumstances of personal, family, and community life. Weaving together biblical insights with contemporary Church teaching, pastoral wisdom, and the human sciences, it helps readers become more competent, comfortable, and confident in their ability to pray with, interpret, and apply the Bible. Becoming Community is particularly suited to engaged and married couples, members of ecclesiastical movements, lay and religious communities or organizations, and persons active in parish and family life.
