"Are church structures divinely-willed, and consequently both
permanent and irreversible? Can Christians modify the polity of
their church like they do with that of civil society? What would be
the role of the office of oversight in a Christian church
democratically organized? What would its relationship with
specialized authorities within the community be? Building on a
remarkable number of specialist studies in exegesis, church
history, political philosophy, canon law, and ecclesiology, this
book convincingly fulfils three goals. First, it encourages
Christians to determine the political outlook of their faith
community. Secondly, it provides some fundamental criteria for
judging the ethical value of church structures, on the basis of
Bernard Lonergans cognitional theory and with the help of recent
insights from contemporary political philosophy. Thirdly, it
outlines a largely novel and groundbreaking understanding of a
democratic church. In the process, it engages with some of the most
difficult ecclesiological issues faced by most Christian churches."
