What is Lutheran ecclesiology? The Lutheran view of the church has
been fraught with difficulties since the Reformation. Church as
Fullness in All Things reengages the topic from a confessional
Lutheran perspective. Lutheran theologians and clergy who are bound
to the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions explore the
possibilities and pitfalls of the Lutheran tradition's view of the
church in the face of contemporary challenges. The contributors
also take up questions about and challenges to thinking and living
as the church in their tradition, while looking to other Christian
voices for aid in what is finally a common Christian endeavor. The
volume addresses three related types of questions faced in living
and thinking as the church, with each standing as a field of
tension marked by disharmonized-though perhaps not inherently
opposite-poles: the individual and the communal, the personal and
the institutional, and the particular and the universal. Asking
whether de facto prioritizations of given poles or unexamined
assumptions about their legitimacy impinge the church Lutherans
seek, the volume closes with Anglican, Reformed, and Roman Catholic
contributors stating what their ecclesiological traditions could
learn from Lutheranism and vice-versa.
