In a time of polarization and attempts to eliminate diversity, what could be more important for ecclesiology than to think through how diversity and recognition belong together and contribute to shaping a church that manifests an alternative reality? This book offers resources for this critical task by investigating classical and contemporary resources, showing how a contemporary theology of the Spirit opens up a new vision of the Church. -- Jan-Olav Henriksen, Professor of Systematic Theology, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion, and Society, Norway, and author of Desire, Gift, and Recognition: Christology and Postmodern Philosophy In our time of increasing tensions and polarization, the need for respect and appreciation of other persons and groups is of paramount importance. Kathryn L. Reinhard argues that the theory of recognition offers ways to live together in a plural world. She shows how the event of intersubjective recognition is deeply rooted in the Christian faith and can be embraced with an ecclesially sensitive account of the Holy Spirit. -- Risto Saarinen, Professor of Ecumenics, University of Helsinki, Finland
