One New Humanity: Glory, Violence, and the Gospel of Peace

Is Jesus the way to recover our humanity?

One New Humanity offers a vision of glory that confronts the shame and violence of our world. Drawing insights from early Christians, the global church, social sciences, and Scripture, the authors argue that Ephesians 2:13–17 reveals a social and horizontal dimension to the gospel of Christ: In Christ we gain a new peaceable way of being human.

Through this extensive look at the gospel of peace, we discover that Scripture speaks more powerfully than we often realize to the problems of polarization, alienation, shame, and violence. The gospel offers a way out of the cycles of violence which have entrapped both the church and the world, and opens up a path of true freedom, purpose, and glory in Jesus. One New Humanity offers a fresh framework for Jesus-centered reconciliation; we embody Christ’s peace, for the world, near and far.
