Abstract

This volume will be welcomed by both teachers of ecclesiology and their students. There simply is no substitute for an engagement with the primary texts of the Christian tradition and contemporary theology, yet many of the texts that relate to the theology of the church are embedded in more general writings and are not easy to find or extract. Bryan Stone has performed a valuable service by putting together in one volume a comprehensive collection that begins with the New Testament and reaches as far as recent systematic, feminist and liberation theologians. It combines what one might call the ‘usual suspects’ of ecclesiology (Cyprian, Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Hooker, Barth, de Lubac, etc.) with less expected voices like the medieval polymath Hildegaard of Bingen or the Puritan Separatist John Smyth. There are nearly a hundred extracts from theologians and official sources, varying in length from a paragraph to (in the exceptional case of John Calvin) eight pages. Each is preceded by a brief explanatory note that sets it in context and followed by suggestions for further reading. At the end of the volume there is a more extensive reading list on ecclesiology.
