Shaping the Church: The Promise of Implicit TheologyThis work alters the way that theologians, ecclesiologists, students of religion, and ministers look at the church. Taking the ideas of composition, formation and vocation as basic ecclesial categories, Percy explores how apparently innocent and incidental material is in fact significant for the shaping of theological horizons. |
