The Quest for Unity in the New Testament Church: A Study in Paul and Acts (1987) = Paul and the Jerusalem Church: An Elusive Unity (2005) is a book by Paul J. Achtemeier.

Abstract

"The evidence in the New Testament is clear: the church, from its beginning, faced problems of division and disunity, with the result that such unity still remains a goal to be achieved in the life of the visible body of Christ. Only a clear, hard-eyed view of the kind of problems that have beset the Christian community from its beginning will enable that community to move forward, under the guidance of God's Spirit, to that unity to which it is called."--Publisher description.
