Ascension and Ecclesia: On the Significance of the Doctrine of the Ascension for Ecclesiology and Christian Cosmology - Paperback

by Douglas Farrow (Author)

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

Recent theology offers few attempts to come to grips with the meaning and implications of the ascension of Jesus.

Professor Farrow makes his approach through the scriptures, the Eucharistic liturgy, the fathers and the reformers, before tracing his subject into modern times. He not only demonstrates that the doctrine of the ascension has played a much larger role in the history of Christian and western thought than is generally realized, but tackles many of the difficult questions others have been content to ignore.
