One of the slogans of the reformation was ecclesia reformata semper
reformanda - 'the reformed church always reforming'. Churches
throughout the western world are currently engaged in reform and
renewal programmes through internal structural reforms as well as
movements such as 'emerging church'. This book presents a
challenging theology of church reform and renewal that offers a
contemporary understanding of this historic slogan. Taking an
interdisciplinary approach, Bradbury discerns processes and
practices which are perpetually reforming and renewing the identity
of the church. It examines doctrinal and confessional conceptions
of the church, re-examines texts concerned with covenantal renewal
and explores Jewish-Christian dialogue as an example of renewal. A
constructive theology is offered utilizing the categories of
collective memory and mimetic practice. This upholds fundamental
Christian identity, whilst driving the process of reform and
renewal under God in the context of a three-way relationship
between God, the church and the world.
