Ecclesiology, or doctrine of the Church, is an essential field of theology, which extends that of salvation and rubs shoulders with that of the Holy Spirit, while anticipating eschatology. But ecclesiology is also the site of several controversies, which we find in the differences between Christian traditions, in ecumenical debates and even within the evangelical world.
The person who studies ecclesiology has before him not only his open Bible, but also the reality of the “Churches” of yesterday and today, as well as his own ecclesial ties. To explore the subject, a reliable guide is therefore essential. This is what this book offers, which will allow the reader to understand the points of view present and the issues, and to sharpen their discernment. The course goes from the study of biblical data to the presentation of the main types of conceptions of the Church, then to critical analysis.
