{"product_id":"christian-community-in-history-volume-roger-haight-9780826416308","title":"Christian Community in History Volume 1: Historical Ecclesiology","description":"Drawing upon the methodology developed in his Dynamics of Theology (1990) and exemplified in Jesus Symbol of God (1999), Roger Haight, in this magisterial work, achieves what he calls an historical ecclesiology, or ecclesiology from below. In contrast to traditional ecclesiology from above, which is abstract, idealist, and ahistorical, ecclesiology from below is concrete, realist, and historically conscious. In this first of two volumes, Haight charts the history of the church's self-understandings from the origins of the church in the Jesus movement to the late Middle Ages. In volume 2 Haight develops a comparative ecclesiology based on the history and diverse theologies of the worldwide Christian movement from the Reformation to the present. While the ultimate focus of the work falls on the structure of the church and its theological self-understanding, it tries to be faithful to the historical, social, and political reality of the church in each period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Haight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826416306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826416308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.38w x 1.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 1606\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommonweal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/28\/2005 pg. 34","brand":"Roger Haight","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120370249983,"sku":"9780826416308","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eaa56f12-0c85-49c6-8ad3-8e8cb134e062.jpg?v=1687413950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christian-community-in-history-volume-roger-haight-9780826416308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
