{"product_id":"figuring-out-the-church-fr-aidan-nichols-9781586178185","title":"Figuring Out the Church: Her Marks, and Her Masters","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Church is a mystery. Believers who want to enter more deeply into that mystery will reflect on the Church's basic characteristics, the \"marks of the Church\" what it means for the Church to be one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Non-Catholics and nonbelievers looking to appreciate how Catholics regard the Church also will desire to understand these \"marks\". \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, renowned Dominican theologian Fr. Aidan Nichols explores the Church's characteristics. Drawing on insights from four theological masters-Henri de Lubac, Jean Tillard, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Charles Journet-Nichols seeks to help Catholics and non-Catholics to \"figure out\" the Church, on at least a fundamental level. The four masters in question do not claim to exhaust the mystery of the Church, nor does Nichols. They do, however, assist the reader in going deeper into the mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo accomplish this goal, Nichols appeals to both the Scholastic tradition and authors influenced by the \u003ci\u003eressourcement\u003c\/i\u003e movement in theology. In this way, he provides readers with a sense of Catholicism's breadth, which is at once orthodox and yet generously conceived. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aidan Nichols\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1586178180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781586178185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Aidan Nichols","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048825221375,"sku":"9781586178185","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54128d9d-e441-4f89-8932-4e09e84d9d06.jpg?v=1684998039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/figuring-out-the-church-fr-aidan-nichols-9781586178185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
