Martyn Percy

The Ecclesial Canopy (eBook, ePUB)

Faith, Hope, Charity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Seeking to dynamically alter the way that theologians, ecclesiologists, students of religion and ministers look at the relationship between church and society, this book explores how oft-overlooked issues are in fact highly significant for the shaping of theological and ecclesiological horizons. Building on the concepts of implicit and invisible religion, Percy offers a fresh and original interpretative 'take' on contemporary society, appealing to clergy, laity, scholars and all those working in the field of theory and reflective practice in practical and pastoral theology.
