Inhaltsangabe

Discover how Christ’s perpetual presence grounds the Church as a living, historic institution.

This work argues that the Church is not a recent invention but a timeless, essential part of Christianity, rooted in Christ’s ongoing work through history. It presents the idea that the Church stands as a visible, enduring organism—past, present, and future—through which redemption continues to work in the world. The book frames the Church as the indispensable link in salvation, formed from the accomplish­ments of the Gospel and the life of the Spirit.

Written with a focus on the institutional life of faith, this edition traces how Christian history has shaped a concrete, outward form—a body with offices, officers, and a continuous line from Pentecost to today. It argues that civil and social order, including family and state, grow from, and rely on, the Church’s presence and governance. By presenting a unified view of church and society, it invites readers to see faith as a historical and living reality grounded in Christ’s authority and love.
