| Sumario: | The early Christian church arose in a Judaizing environment. According to the New Testament epistle record, the apostle Paul's supreme work was to preach the gospel to the Gentiles and to lead the church from obvious polarization to full unification in Christ. However, the two camps that made up the nascent Christian church, Jews and Gentiles, were divided over racial, religious, and political issues. Faced with such a complex situation, the reconciling attitude of the apostle Paul led him to defend and raise the issue of church unity from different metaphorical perspectives, finally coming to define it in a term common to all as human beings by declaring the church as "the family of God” according to the letter to the Ephesians, chapter 2:19. This clear definition of the unity of the church includes all people regardless of their social, racial, cultural, political or economic origin, because all, as children, are considered part of the family of God. |
