{"product_id":"a-brutal-unity-ephraim-radner-9781602586307","title":"A Brutal Unity: The Spiritual Politics of the Christian Church","description":"\u003cp\u003eTo describe the Church as \"united\" is a factual misnomer--even at its conception centuries ago. Ephraim Radner provides a robust rethinking of the doctrine of the church in light of Christianity's often violent and at times morally suspect history. He holds in tension the strange and transcendent oneness of God with the necessarily temporal and political function of the Church, and, in so doing, shows how the goals and failures of the liberal democratic state provide revelatory experiences that greatly enhance one's understanding of the nature of Christian unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ephraim Radner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602586306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602586307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.09d","brand":"Ephraim Radner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580031647999,"sku":"9781602586307","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea11e4ca-21fd-4817-8cf9-a0ae9c6690f9.jpg?v=1763878321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-brutal-unity-ephraim-radner-9781602586307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
