Even today, many believers struggle to find unifying theme s in scripture that can make sense of its great diversity. Dauphinais and Leveri ng suggest that holiness--that is, love as communion with God and neighbor--is t he common thread that runs through scripture. Holiness, they say, manifests itse lf in profuse biblical language about a promised land and a holy people, all of which reveals a holy God desiring to recreate us in his image. The authors point out that this idea is as old as the church itself and as new as the work of con temporary biblical scholars.
