Description
Volf seeks to counter the tendencies toward individualism in Protestant ecclesiology and to signify a viable figuring out of the church by which both person and community are given their proper due. Within the process he engages in a sustained and essential ecumenical dialogue with the Catholic and Orthodox ecclesiologies of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger and the metropolitan John Zizioulas. The result is a smart ecumenical study that spells out a vision of the church as an image of the triune God.
