Críticas:
"Gesa Thiessen discusses a broad range of current ecumenical issues in a manner that is both theoretically lucid and practically helpful. Her experience as bridge-builder between Lutherans and Roman Catholics as well as between German and English-speaking theological traditions allows her to grapple with many contemporary problems in a creative and forward-looking fashion. Not only academic theologians, but also ecumenically minded laypeople will benefit from Thiessen's sincere and participatory way of engaging challenging topics." Risto Saarinen, University of Helsinki "This book will challenge, inform, and delight all who are passionate about the church today. From one of the most committed and creative Lutheran ecumenists around, it delves deep into the history of the church to draw forth empowering and inspiring ecclesial perspectives for today and tomorrow alike. Seeking to retrieve an understanding of what lies at the true heart of apostolicity and the literally radical nature of the Gospel itself, exploring and explicating the nature and actuality of ecumenical dialogue, and offering a vision for the church that resonates loudly with the good news that was proclaimed in first-century Palestine, this work will be required reading for those involved in dialogue today and will enhance any course that deals with ecumenism and contemporary ecclesiology. Gesa Thiessen has performed an important service to the theological community in bringing this work into being. It 'sends forth' a message of truly good news concerning the kingdom of God to a world so in need of such - apostolic and prophetic indeed." Gerard Mannion, University of San Diego "Thiessen's Apostolic and Prophetic is a thoughtful tour through some interesting regions of contemporary ecclesiological reflection. Those exercised by the ecclesiological themes of apostolicity, ecumenicity, and radicality will undoubtedly find its vistas engaging." W. Travis McMaken, Lindenwood University, in Reviews in Religion and Theology, Vol 20, No 3 "Thiessen is trying to forge a new way forward for the identity and practice of the church given who Jesus is. ... The contribution of Thiessen's work is that she is not glibly denigrating earlier or alternative ecclesiologies, rather she is trying to move past old roadblocks and suggest a liveable and living future for the church. This book is recommended for courses in seminaries as its thoughtful blend of theology, cultural critique and ecclesial mindfulness will promote lively discussion." Scott Harrower, Melbourne School of Theology, in Theological Book Review , Vol 25, No 2 'Thiessen's perspective is that of a Lutheran theologian with a deep commitment to the aspirations of a twentieth-century ecumenism. [...] Apostolic and Prophetic makes powerful suggestions and should be part of the contemporary conversation around Christian witness, discipleship, and pursuing more visible Church unity among traditions.' Ian Clausen, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, in The Expository Times, Vol 125, No 9, June 2014
Reseña del editor:
'Apostolic and Prophetic' explores the idea of the church as apostolic and radical, together marking a vision of the church as ecumenical and prophetic. Thiessen offers critical reflections upon the modern church with a sincere faithfulness to the origin and roots of the Christian faith tradition. Thiessen looks at apostolicity in the Bible and the early church, and ecumenical documents from the Anglican, Lutheran and Roman Catholic churches reveal the development of the apostolate today. The author examines the current challenges for ecclesiology and ecumenical dialogue, including the official attitudes that prevent unity. Current denominative ecclesiology and praxis are highlighted with particular attention to the Lutheran church and the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Thiessen recognises that the church is an institution that is ready to learn and willing to change, and includes forward-looking proposals for unity, diversity, and radicalism, as well as continuity and mission. To do this Thiessen analyses the works of two seminal thinkers of our time, exploring the writings of Dorothee Sölle and Terry Eagleton. Gesa Elsbeth Thiessen lectures in systematic theology at Milltown Institute of Theology and Philosophy, and at Mater Dei Institute, Dublin, and is an Honorary Fellow of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies of the University of Wales, Lampeter. She has published several books including 'Ecumenical Ecclesiology' (2009) and 'Theological Aesthetics: A Reader' (2004) 'Gesa Thiessen discusses a broad range of current ecumenical issues in a manner that is both theoretically lucid and practically helpful. Her experience as bridge-builder between Lutherans and Roman Catholics as well as between German and English-speaking theological traditions allows her to grapple with many contemporary problems in a creative and forward-looking fashion. Not only academic theologians, but also ecumenically minded laypeople will benefit from Thiessen's sincere and participatory way of engaging challenging topics.' Risto Saarinen, Professor of Ecumenical Theology, University of Helsinki

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Apostolic, ecumenical and radical: these are the ecclesial characteristics highlighted by Gesa E. Thiessen while explaining her vision of the church. The author focuses on the meaning of each of these marks as well as on their intrinsic connections, an approach that leads her to delve deep into the history of the church, and to draw a wide span between the apostolic past and a radical perspective on the present and future ecumenical church. Apostolic and Prophetic studies the concept of apostolicity emerging in patristic theology and examines this concept as it has been developed in select Lutheran, Roman Catholic, and Anglican ecumenical documents. A critical study of the concept of apostolicity emerging in patristic theology, and its significance in modern ecumenism.
