church throughout time and space, and what ties them all together?
Ecclesiology-the doctrine of the church-has risen to the center of
theological interest in recent decades. In this text, theologian

field of ecclesiology in the midst of rapid developments and new
horizons. Drawing on Karkkainen's international experience and
comprehensive research on the church, this revised and expanded
edition is thoroughly updated to incorporate recent literature and
trends. This unique primer not only orients readers to biblical,
historical, and contemporary ecclesiologies but also highlights
