En savoir plus sur le livre
One of the most important movements in recent philosophy and theology is the "process thought" associated with Alfred North Whitehead, the distinguished Cambridge thinker who died in 1947. This conceptuality is increasingly being used by Christian theologians for the restatement of Christian faith, worship, and practice. The present book is an attempt by a British theologian to apply this kind of thinking to the interpretation of the church itself. Dr. Pittenger interprets the church, its nature, its purpose, its ministry, its concern for the world, its interest in social issues, and seeks to show how the Christian fellowship is a "social process" in which the Love which is God and which was incarnate in Jesus is continuing to work in the affairs of men through the community which took to Jesus as its Lord and Master.
