The book analyzes the impact of pluralism and inclusivism upon ecclesiology, and draws upon Balthasar's theodramatic theory, MacIntyre's theory of traditional inquiry, postmodern critiques of humanism, and postmodern ethnography to develop a more flexible and concrete ecclesiology that can better address the practical and pastoral needs of the church. This alternative ecclesiology strongly affirms the need for the church to debate with those who challenge its claims and their embodiment, both from within and externally. The book concludes by discussing how the church may construct its own theological forms of historical, sociological and ethnographic analysis of both the church and society.Cambridge studies in Christian doctrine ;7.Church, World & the Christian LifeChurchChurch.262Healy Nicholas M.853666UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910454679303321Church, world, and the Christian life1906069UNINA
