About this ebook
Re-Visioning the Church, the outcome of nearly two decades of research, applies a
social scientific and historical outlook to the emergence, development, and
ongoing mission and ministry of the church. Establishing a critical framework
for understanding the structures of the church, the work explores the
religious, cultural, and social dimensions of what it means to be the church
and what structures and ministries form the foundation of ecclesial life. The
heart of the project is a detailed account of the history and development of
the church that takes the story from the apostolic band to the Second Vatican
Council.
