The Fall of the Church

Theology

“This is an excellent book that examines afresh the important subject of the church in relation to power. With forensic insight, Mitchell excavates the roots of the tree of sovereign power and lays his ax with historical acuity at crucial points of the church's development, at which, he proposes, the imperial notion of sovereignty has tainted her witness. . . . I highly recommend The Fall of the Church to those prepared for serious engagement with the challenges of our time.”
