The Church, Authority, and Foucault

Imagining the Church as an Open Space of Freedom

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a fresh ecclesiological critique that confirms the Church's vocation to welcome the stranger, honour new wisdom and work for change. The book breaks new ground by using Michel Foucault's concept of space as a basis for interpreting church as a space of freedom.
