This Reader presents a diverse and ecumenical cross-section of
ecclesiological statements from across the twenty centuries of the
church's existence. It builds on the foundations of early Christian
writings, illustrates significant medieval, reformation, and modern
developments, and provides a representative look at the robust
attention to ecclesiology that characterizes the contemporary
period. This collection of readings offers an impressive overview
of the multiple ways Christians have understood the church to be
both the 'body of Christ' and, at the same time, an imperfect,
social and historical institution, constantly subject to change,
and reflective of the cultures in which it is found. This
comprehensive survey of historical ecclesiologies is helpful in
pointing readers to the remarkable number of images and metaphors
that Christians have relied upon in describing the church and to
the various tensions that have characterized reflection on the
church as both united and diverse, community and institution,
visible and invisible, triumphant and militant, global and local,
one and many. Students, clergy and all interested in Christianity
and the church will find this collection an invaluable resource.
