Intercommunal Ecclesiology

Theology

“Steven Battin’s long-awaited debut monograph asks of ecclesiology a new question: Why does Christ need a church? Battin’s answer is far-reaching in its consequences: as Christ’s collective body, the church exists as a human community amidst other human communities to heal the often-violent disunity between them. Written in crisp, energetic prose, Intercommunal Ecclesiology charts an exciting new path forward for systematic and moral theologians alike.”
