Apostolicity

The Ecumenical Question in World Christian Perspective

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

At the heart of the ecumenical discussions over the past century lies the issue of what constitutes the apostolicity of the church. In an attempt to forge structural agreements, these discussions have ignored the diversity of world Christianity. In this groundbreaking study, John Flett presents a bold account of an apostolicity that embraces plurality.
