T&T Clark Handbook of Ecclesiology
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Divided into 3 parts, this handbook provides a wide-ranging survey and analysis of the Christian Church. The first section addresses the scriptural foundations of ecclesiology; the second section outlines the historical and confessional aspects of the topic; and the final part discusses a variety of contemporary and topical themes in ecclesiology.
Compiled and written by leading scholars in the field, the T&T Clark Handbook of Ecclesiology covers a range of key topics in the context of their development and importance in each stream of historic Christianity and the confessional traditions. The contributors cover traditional matters such as creedal notes, but also tackle questions of ordination, orders of ministry, and sacraments. This handbook is extensive enough to provide a true overview of the field, but the essays are also concise enough to be read as reference selections.
- Seeks to provide an accessible overview to the scriptural, historical, confessional, doctrinal, and ethical sources that inform and comprise ecclesiology
- Offers resources for theologians, ethicists, and historians to engage in the continuing work of ecclesial development and ecclesiological reflection
- Attempts to be useful handbook whether readers are interested in the origins of ecclesiology in Scripture and tradition, in the differences between ecclesial confessions and families, or in the doctrinal and ethical issues that ecclesiology raises
