The author invited Mr. K. to introduce his comprehensive analyses of the \"church system\", i.e. the inner raison d'être of Christian communities, cultures, or institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis book presents six insights into the origins, nature, and functioning of the \"church system\". Each of them is explained and illustrated with vivid, erudite references to texts and actions that reveal the very \"viscera\" of that system. This book's central metaphor is that of the \"core and shells\" of the church system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tomasz Polak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3643915926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783643915924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lit Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Tomasz Polak","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419621736703,"sku":"9783643915924","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35edf5f6-60fa-4179-a9b2-193a58c9ef0b.jpg?v=1761512766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-church-system-or-the-tomasz-polak-9783643915924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
