Drawing upon the methodology developed in his Dynamics of Theology
(1990) and exemplified in Jesus Symbol of God (1999), Roger Haight,
in this magisterial work, achieves what he calls an historical
ecclesiology, or ecclesiology from below. In contrast to
traditional ecclesiology from above, which is abstract, idealist,
and ahistorical, ecclesiology from below is concrete, realist, and
historically conscious. In the first of two volumes, Haight charts
the history of the church's self-understandings from the origins of
the church in the Jesus movement to the late middle ages. In volume
2, which will appear in the spring of 2005, Haight develops a
Comparative Ecclesiology based on the history and diverse
theologies of the worldwide Christian movement from the Reformation
to the present. While the ultimate focus of the work falls on the
structure of the church and its theological self-understanding, it
tries to be faithful to the historical, social, and political
reality of the church in each period.
