Book - Community Looking at the Possibilities

Community, Looking at the Possibilities, by Philip Crossan, first published in 2012, is an in depth discussion based on personal experiences with various communal groups. The topic of community is discussed in a well balanced format taking into consideration that there are various types or forms of community life. Examples are given; ranging from: Messianic, to Anabaptist communities including brief discussions on the Amish, Brethren, Hutterites and others. The author shows how examples of communal efforts are present in the Bible as well as throughout church history. In addition, the focus of the community must be on Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. He also extends to the reader the call to some form of community. That call is not limited to any one form of community but could range from participation in a close knit fellowship to commune life, and anything in between. A thought provoking
and encouraging read.
