Denominations are one of the primary ways in which Christians
attempt to live in a community based around God. Yet there is very
little careful theological analysis of denomination available
today. Between Congregation and Church offers a constructive
theological understanding of denomination, showing its role as an
intermediary structure between congregation and church. It places
denomination and other intermediary structures within the doctrine
of the church. Barry Ensign-George reviews work by theologians and
church historians that can contribute to a constructive theological
understanding of denomination. The book highlights particular
developments in the history of the church that established
preconditions for the emergence of denomination. Exploration of
unity and diversity is central to this analysis, and individual
chapters offer theological analyses of the unity and the diversity
to which the Christians are called. Finally, denomination has often
been a vehicle for sin, and the relationship between denomination
and sin is considered. Between Congregation and Church addresses a
major gap in contemporary theology: the failure to offer
substantive theological analysis of denomination, a major way
Christians together live their faith today.
