Martyn Percy

Shaping the Church (eBook, ePUB)

The Promise of Implicit Theology

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Shaping the Church seeks to dynamically alter the way that theologians, ecclesiologists, students of religion and ministers look at the church. Taking the ideas of composition, formation and vocation as basic ecclesial categories, Martyn Percy explores how apparently innocent and incidental material is in fact highly significant for the shaping of theological and ecclesiological horizons.
