Types of Ecclesiology Five Theological Approaches David Emerton
This introduction to ecclesiology articulates five different theological ap - proaches and explains why it is important to ask what the church is before asking what the church does.
“A must for anyone interested in a theology of the church. With careful and creative analysis, Emerton is a sure guide through the complexities of contem- porary ecclesiology. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough.” —Tom Greggs, University of Aberdeen; Center of Theological Inquiry, Princeton “This timely volume offers an invaluable framework for engaging in contem- porary debates, one that is essential for advancing the ecumenical movement and fostering the unity of the church. Highly recommended for anyone inter- ested in understanding the church by its nature.” —Rev. Stephanie Dietrich, moderator of the WCC Faith and Order Commission; VID Specialized University, Oslo, Norway

The Augustine Way Retrieving a Vision for the Church’s Apologetic Witness Joshua D. Chatraw and Mark D. Allen This book retrieves Augustine’s scriptural and ecclesial approach for a healing and hopeful apologetic witness for today. “This book—lively, honest, humane, and wide-ranging—introduces us to one of the most brilliant of all Christian writers and lets us realize just how much good news he has to give amid the muddles and longings of our age.” —Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury “How refreshing it is to find apologetics in this book being recovered in its more ancient forms, such as Augustine and his philosophical forebears represented so richly.” —Rev. Canon Sarah Coakley, FBA, University of Cambridge (emerita) Joshua D. Chatraw (PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) is the Billy Graham Chair of Evangelism and Cultural Engagement at Beeson Divinity School. Mark D. Allen (PhD, University of Notre Dame) is professor of biblical and theological studies at Liberty University.
