"A major contribution providing new impetus for ecumenical inquiry. A rich and multifaceted argument for the comprehensive and global implications of particular formational processes within Christian faith communities." --Anna Marie Aargaard “…this is a thoughtful and provocative book. It has been a long time since I read anything that seemed so hopeful about a movement that looks so difficult to resurrect in today’s world. As one commentator put it, and I agree, ‘If anyone can breathe new life into the ecumenical movement it is Lewis Mudge.’” --The Clergy Journal “Mudge provides a valuable contribution to the discussion of ecclesiology and ethics through his insistence that local congregations in all their diversity are the basis for building moral community….The book will be a useful resource for those who are seeking new ways to be church in a broken world.” --Toronto Journal of Theology>

Contributions by churches to public discourse have become disconnected from the fabric of communal relationships in which Christians stand by virtue of the reconciling work of God in Jesus Christ. We argue individualistically, legally, ideologically, but seldom as members of a body for whom relationships of basic trust with others are fundamental. This book seeks a strategy for recovering these mi...

A fascinating collection of papers on the relationship between democracy, sustainability and globalisation. What should be done to put into action the agreements and conventions that the international community elaborated to make viable a sustainable society? How to move from these agreements and conventions into contracts that oblige nations and international agencies to participate in actions favourable for environmental sustainability? What can churches and Christian communities contribute to the formulation and enforcement of democratic contracts? Contributions come from people in governmental and non-governmental organisations, churches, and the teaching profession, and deal with areas such as the market, capitalism, international law, and the Bible.

As Christians around the world practice their faith, this important scholarly book highlights the salient struggles in contemporary Christian thought and seeks to bring together the best of church and academy for the greater good.

(This book, drawing for its title upon Josiah Royce's well...)
This book, drawing for its title upon Josiah Royce's well-known turn of phrase, presents twelve essays, written over forty years of the author's life, which together see ecclesiology as a form of hermeneutical social theory intelligible both to theologians and scholars in the human sciences. This perspective is presented as one in which members of Christian communions, and others of good will, can wrestle in common with contemporary issues of human life in a context open to transcendence. The book is arranged in five parts: Social Reality, Hermeneutics, Ecclesiogenesis, Civil Society, and Householding. An analytical introduction by the author links the essays situationally and conceptually. The principal interlocutors, in addition to Royce, are Paul Ricoeur, Alfred Schutz, Ernst Troeltsch, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, G.W.F. Hegel, Robert Bellah, John Rawls, and Jürgen Habermas.
