What the Catholic Church understands about the Eucharist
Communion and Otherness
'Communion and otherness: how can these be reconciled?' In this wide-ranging study, the distinguished Orthodox theologian, Metropolitan John (Zizioulas) of Pergamon, seeks to answer that question. In his celebrated book, Being as Communion (1985), he emphasised the importance of communion for life and for unity. In this important companion volume he now explores the complementary fact that communion is the basis for true otherness and identity. With a constant awareness of the deepest existential questions of today, Metropolitan John probes the Christian tradition and highlights the existential concerns that already underlay the writings of the Greek fathers and the definitions of the early ...

Ecclesial Boundaries and National Identity in the Orthodox Church
Grdzelidze’s study evaluates the present state of ecclesiology in the Orthodox Church, focusing on the history of autocephaly and its relationship with the rise of religious nationalism. To date, the Orthodox Church has not sufficiently addressed the pressing problem of religious nationalism. Tamara Grdzelidze’s Ecclesial Boundaries and National Identity in the Orthodox Church fills this lacuna, offering a solution to the ecclesiological problems posed by the rise of group-related sentiment in Orthodox communities. Grdzelidze’s monograph begins with an examination of the history of autocephaly and synodality in the Orthodox Church. As she explains, the political autonomy of local churc...
Plunged into the Trinity
The sacraments make our "plunge" into communion with the Trinity visible and tangible. Baptism is literally a "plunge", but only the beginning of our organic incorporation, through the Body of Christ, as participants in the very life of God. The Eucharistic Body makes us into the Ecclesial Body of the Second Person of the Trinity. This communion is the fulfillment of the Great Commandment, and each sacrament represents a particular application of this union. Finally, the Church itself is the Great Sacrament of the world's restoration in love to perfect communion with God. The ten reflections in this book attempt to deepen our appreciation for this Great Mystery.
The House Where God Lives
In a culture dominated by the individualistic values of political and social liberalism, Gary Badcock says that we seldom hear of the church as the creature of the Word of God. The church has been entrusted to us by God and belongs to the structure of the Christian faith itself. Ecclesiology is first of all theology because it is primarily about the presence of God, Badcock maintains, and is thus biblical and creedal ( one, holy, catholic, and apostolic ) something that we believe which is what undergirds its empirical, sociological, and even pastoral function. Rather than a hollow shell where humans dream moral dreams and do good deeds, the church is the house where God lives.
