5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ecclesiology textbook I have found..., January 22, 2004

By A Customer

I'm currently teaching upper level undergraduate Ecclesiology at a Roman Catholic Univ. Theology "textbooks" are extremely hard to come by, and this is by far the best of any kind I've used. It covers all necessary topics, is written by diverse, distinguished authors, and is accessible without being watered-down. This is Theology at its best. Great job!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great one stop book, March 11, 2007

By	Vincent H. Blackett (Barbados) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw this book advertised recently and thought I'd get a copy and now I have ordered copies for my Students of Ecumenics at a Theological College in the Caribbean.
I recommend this text to students and teachers of Ecclesiology, Ecumenics or persons with a general interest in the Church.
