Critical Issues In Ecclesiology

Engages important issues faced by the Christian church in witness and ministry
Renowned for his unique slant on ecclesial affiliation by his own confession evangelical without being Protestant, catholic without being Roman, and orthodox without being Eastern Lutheran theologian Carl E. Braaten has long been a respected voice in ecclesiological discourse. In Critical Issues in Ecclesiology the voices of eleven authors from a variety of church traditions come together to honor Braaten in a volume that seeks the renewal of the church, the clarifying of its catholic evangelical witness to the apostolic faith, and the restoration of its passion for mission within the Great Tradition.
