Critical belonging has been an essential feature of Christianity since its origin. This book shows how, by working collaboratively, the "people of God" can credibly meet past and present challenges together. In this way, the diversity and unity within the Christian community are acknowledged and affirmed. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction: Faithful and Free: Four Examples of Critical Belonging I.
