Publisher Description
The first 2 volumes of Roger Haight'sChristian Community in Historyreceived enormous critical attention. Of volume 2, a reviewer in theAnglican Theological Reviewwrote: "This work is worthy of celebration...anyone who cares about the theology of the church must read it." Those volumes ofChristian Community in Historydescribed the historical diversity of the church across its history (up to the Reformation in vol. 1) and among the churches (since the Reformation in vol. 2). By contrast, vol. 3 is an attempt to describe what the churches possess in common, i.e., to retrieve ecclesiological constants from history reaching back to scriptural origins in order to construct and portray the common ecclesial existence shared by the churches. In more traditional terms, it aims to find the apostolicity, the catholicity, and the unity amidst the plurality of the churches.
