Reviews

'The book is divided into three parts. Part 1, Method, explores ecclesiological method especially in relation to Haight's historical, from below approach. Part 2, Questions of Communion and Wider Application, takes up the comparative method developed in Haight's second volume and explores its implications for relations among Christians and between Christians and members of other world religions. Part 3, Prospects and Promise, looks to the future and the potential of the comparative approach.' Michael Attridge, University of Saint Michael's College, Toronto<br>--Micahel Attridge Theological Studies


Mention --Book News, November 2008 Mention -Book News, November 2008 Mention Book News, November 2008 'The book is a courageous and laudable effort by a select group of ecclesiologists to explore and to analyze Roger Haight's Christian Community in History, whose third volume appeared practically simultaneously to the book under review. Comparative Ecclesiology is indeed a thought-provoking work on the church/es at the threshold of thetwenty-first century. The scholars do not simply limit themselves to discuss Haight's work, but elaborate certain themes which he raises.'
