| Publisher Description: How should we perceive that the Church is a communion before being a society, a mystery before being a structure? These questions reflect the inner being of the Church that is at the center of Flesh of the Church, Flesh of Christ. It enables readers to understand not the structure of God's Church but the living reality of grace for which this structure exists. |
