Christian Community in History, Volume 2: Comparative Ecclesiology
Overview
Roger D. Haight’s “ecclesiology from below,” moves through the actual church of history to ecclesiology or to an understanding of the church both as it is and as it should be. In volume 2 of Haight’s series, Comparative Ecclesiology, ecclesiology itself becomes directly the subject matter of the book, without losing sight of concrete history and the degree to which these ecclesiologies are historically conditioned. The main goal of this “comparative ecclesiology” is not just to examine different ecclesiologies that emerged over the last 500 years, but also to show the richness, vitality, and creativity of the whole church as it moves through history, adjusting to new times, places, and cultures.
