«Gesù come voleva la sua comunità?» is the theological essay by Gerhard Lohfink, published by San Paolo Edizioni in paperback (248 pages, in Italian).
Lohfink asks whether Jesus sought an alternative society and how the Church should be configured today. He proposes that the Christian community act as God's «counter-society»: a visible sign for Israel and the world, without diluting its identity. He draws on images such as the salt of the earth, the light of the world, and the city on a hill.
Published in 1990, it belongs to the Problemi e dibattiti collection (no. 5) and achieved notable success in German-speaking countries.
Aimed at theologians, pastoral workers, and readers interested in the identity and future of the Church.
Gerhard Lohfink was a German Catholic priest and theologian. He was a professor of the New Testament at the University of Tübingen until 1986. Lohfink worked as a theologian in the Catholic Integrated Community (KIG). Many of his books were translated into other languages; some English versions became bestsellers, including Jesus and Community. The Social Dimension of Christian faith, translated in 1984.
