Martin Luther once listed seven "marks" of the church-those
defining ecclesial features that show where the true church is to
be found. This insightful volume brings together essays by ten
leading Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, and Orthodox
theologians, each analyzing one of the seven traditional marks of
the church and discussing how it is found, or not found, in today's
churches. Writing about each "mark" of the church are these
scholars: Gerhard O. Forde and Richard Lischer on proclamation;
Susan K. Wood and John H. Erickson on baptism; K. Paul Wesche and
Richard A. Norris Jr. on the eucharist; David S. Yeago on the
office of the Keys; Carl E. Braaten on ordination; Robert W. Jenson
on catechesis; and William J. Abraham on discipleship. The picture
of contemporary church life that is developed by these authors is
grim, but their analyses and practical suggestions are both
constructive and necessary.
