This book offers an upper-level introduction to the Christian
doctrine of the Church. This book is a rigorous comprehensive
introduction to the doctrine of the Church by taking the tack of
walking readers through the internal logic of ecclesiology. Rather
than simply offering a compendium of perspectives on each issue
that arises, the authors seek to teach and model thinking
theologically, with the grain of scripture and ecclesial
reflection, about the Church. The chapters are peppered with two to
three excurses per chapter which consider a particularly pertinent
issue that arises from the doctrine's development (e.g. the move
from Jesus to the Church, schism and the rise of denominations,
sacramental mediation) or contemporary concerns (e.g. the question
of other religions, contemporary ecumenical questions, the emerging
church). While the overall tone and content of the book articulate
and invite discussion on the problematics of ecclesiology, these
excurses will provide ample opportunity to examine and (where
appropriate) untangle ecclesiological knots. "Continuum's Guides
for the Perplexed" are clear, concise and accessible introductions
to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can
find especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering.
Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject
difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and
ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of
demanding material.
