Burkhard's 'Apostolicity Then and Now' explores the concept of apostolicity within the Christian Church, examining its theological, historical, and ecumenical dimensions. The author investigates the origins and meanings of apostolicity, including apostolic succession, doctrine, and life, weaving together perspectives from scripture, early church writings, and modern theological discourse. The book considers apostolicity in the context of premodern, modern, and postmodern worldviews, emphasizing its relevance in ecumenical dialogue and efforts toward Christian unity. Burkhard integrates perspectives from contemporary theologians such as Yves Congar and Karl Rahner, alongside discussions of episcopacy and the church as a sacramental communion. Designed for theologians, students, ecumenists, and pastoral ministers, the book provides a comprehensive analysis supported by detailed references and footnotes, aiming to contribute to a deeper understanding of apostolicity and its role in fostering unity among Christian communities.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aChurch$xApostolicity 615 0$aChurch$xApostolicity. 676 $a262/.72 700 $aBurkhard$b John J$01270407 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151776203321 996 $aApostolicity Then and Now$92992172 997 $aUNINA
