“With a stunning sweep of historical insight, The Christian Church propels our attention toward a promising Christian future. The author's scholarship and vision is informed by devotion to the present imperatives of our catholic heritage — theologically, liturgically, ecumenically, and socially. A critical love for the Church and its singular mission is evident throughout.”
“The Christian Church will be an invaluable instrument to initiate students to the problems of ecclesiology seen in their historical background. It is well-informed, comprehensive, and ecumenical. While doing justice to the major Christian traditions of the past and present, it is entirely open to the future and the Spirit.”
