This collection of essays intentionally approaches the issues holiness from an ecclesial standpoint and participates in a larger discussion indicating a renewed interest in the theme of the holiness of God and the people of God. The essays are written from diverse viewpoints, dealing with New Testament and Qumran documents which are themselves diverse in views of holiness and the people of God. The general agreement, however, is that God not only calls a people as a whole to reflect God's holy character but that the Spirit enables the fulfillment of that call to some extent prior to the eschaton.
