One Spirit, One Body, One Temple
 

This month the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society ran Dr. Piotrowski's latest peer-reviewed article, co-written with an ITS student, Ryan Johnson. In this piece Piotrowski and Johnson argue that in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 Paul is making his appeal for holiness based on the idea that the church is the temple of the living God (not individual bodies). The verses read: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." The implications of this reading bear on sexual ethics and church unity in significant ways. We are thrilled to share it with you as this month's blog.
