From time immemorial, the Bible has eloquently expounded upon the idea that we are all children of God and integral members of the divine family. From the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation, we witness the unfolding of the Salvation History of the People of God. Fr. Jose T. J. has skillfully linked this concept of the People of God to the 'Basic Ecclesial Communities', which represent a new paradigm for being Church in the modern world. I am confident that readers will be able to connect these aspects and appreciate the significance of this concept in contemporary times.
