Elasticized Ecclesiology

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the need for churches to adapt to contemporary societal challenges, Ulrich Schmiedel engages with Ernst Troeltsch's ideas to advocate for a more inclusive approach to community and identity. He critiques the insular nature of churches, arguing for a shift from viewing Christianity as a fixed possession to understanding it as a dynamic, performative project. By emphasizing trust and the importance of engaging with both sociological and theological "others," the study presents innovative methods for examining Christian practices throughout history.
