The Real Church

Theology

“This book reminds us of a strand in Lutheran-Melanchthonian ecclesiologies sometimes forgotten: the concepts of visible church and invisible church are distinctions in ecclesiology not at all aiming at a separation between two churches. Hegstad productively encounters this by means of combining systematic theology and social sciences. The result is a concrete ecclesiology in which non-dogmatic factors become theologically relevant.”
