The Whole Christ: The Historical Development of the Doctrine of the Mystical Body in Scripture and Tradition - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The reality of Christ's mystical body is the Christian's membership in Him, by which the Christian comes to share now in Christ's own heavenly life. Through the Holy Spirit's life of grace, the Christian is deified, made a participant in the life of the Trinity. This is the life of the Church. Mersch traces this teaching as it develops within the New Testament and as its implications are unfolded by the early Church fathers up through the theological giants of the 19th and early 20th centuries. A doctrine somewhat obscured in the later 20th century, the theology of the mystical body is now more in need of retrieval than ever.
