 | | The recent publication of his Lordship and Discipleship (London, 1960; orig.: Erniedrigung und Erhöhung bei Jesus und seinen Nachfolgern, 1955) and of the essay "The Concept of the Church in the Gospel and Epistles of St. John" (in New Testament Essays in Memory of T. Manson, Manchester, 1959) ought to foreshadow further translations in coming |
 | | But the apostolate is considered to have the sole function of handing over to the Church the Gospel of the risen Christ Jesus whom the "eyewitnesses" had beheld. |
 | | Despite such citicisms, the book is strongly commended to the ever increasing number of persons who are trying to perceive the lineaments of the ekklesia in the New Testament and relating their findings to present ecclesiological constructions. |
