The testimony of this book reaffirms the original New Testament witness, that the Christian's separation from the world is so radical that in the eyes of the unbaptized worldling he is quite literally out of his mind (Acts 26:24 NIV). Paul's description of the Christian gospel as folly (1 Corinthians 1:18-20 RSV) therefore is seen to be no mere literary device but a deep penetration to the root of the Christian's alienation from the world.
