The Oxford Handbook of Ecclesiology is a unique scholarly resource
for the study of the Christian Church as we find it in the Bible,
in history and today. As the scholarly study of how we understand
the Christian Church's identity and mission, ecclesiology is at the
centre of today's theological research, reflection, and debate.
Ecclesiology is the theological driver of the ecumenical movement.
The main focus of the intense ecumenical engagement and dialogue of
the past half-century has been ecclesiological and this is the area
where the most intractable differences remain to be tackled
Ecclesiology investigates the Church's manifold self-understanding
in relation to a number of areas: the origins, structures,
authority, doctrine, ministry, sacraments, unity, diversity, and
mission of the Church, including its relation to the state and to
society and culture. The sources of ecclesiological reflection are
the Bible (interpreted in the light of scholarly research), Church
history and the wealth of the Christian theological tradition,
together with the information and insights that emerge from other
relevant academic disciplines. This Handbook considers the biblical
resources, historical development, and contemporary initiatives in
ecclesiology. It offers invaluable and comprehensive guide to
understanding the Church.
