The End of the Church

More about the book

Ephraim Radner's exploration delves into the theological implications of church division in the Christian West, offering insights that extend beyond typical socio-historical interpretations. By analyzing post-Reformation debates, he presents a theory linking Christian fragmentation to the Holy Spirit's role in modernity. Radner argues that a divided church resembles a "dead" church, paralleling the suffering of Christ with the disintegration and restoration of Israel. His work revisits scriptural practices of unity, addressing key pneumatological issues that shape ecclesial existence.
