From Ho (Whore) to Holy details the journey of a person going from innocence to idolatry, and back to righteousness, by mirroring Marcia's life steps to those of Israel, the "apple of God's eye." Israel was created by the Creator, because of his desire to have a wife, a people, and a family. Israel is important to all human beings, because it is the focus of what God has planned for all of us, individually! But Israel wanted freedom (from one god) and fun, by seeking many lovers (different gods), which in essence, constituted idolatry. How can the whorish Israel ever become a loyal and righteous wife (nation) again? By traveling through Marcia's life, we realize that Israel will be the wife of God, and believers will be the wife of Jesus! The book details the steps of becoming a harlot, characteristics of a whore, consequences of whoredom, steps to take to stop whoredom, how to be transformed (with benefits), ensuring that one becomes holy, and no longer living as a ho. There are some women in the Bible who were transformed, with benefits, which included Ruth, Tamar, and Mary Magdalene. There were some who pretended to be transformed, but were not, such as Samson. And then, there were those who no longer practiced whoredom, changed, and became a wife, such as Rahab. This book allows self-assessment of ones level of holiness, righteousness, and intimacy with God.

This text examines three key moments in the developing theology of the church’s holiness and sinfulness in the twentieth century: the ressourcement movement of the 1930s to the 1950s, the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), and the pontificate of John Paul II (1978–2005). The aim of this text is to make accessible the works of Emile Mersch, Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Yves Congar, Karl Rahner, and Charles Journet that discuss the holiness and sinfulness of the church and to demonstrate how these works were influential in composing the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium. The author then considers how this developing theology is put into practice in Pope John Paul II’s millennial program, which centers on admitting that the Church in its members has sinned and needs to seek forgiveness.

Throughout the biblical story, the people of God are expected to embody God's holy character publicly. Therefore, holiness is a theological and ecclesial issue prior to being a matter of individual piety. Holiness and Ecclesiology in the New Testament offers serious engagement with a variety of New Testament and Qumran documents in order to stimulate churches to imagine anew what it might mean to be a publicly identifiable people who embody God's very character in their particular social setting.
