BONDED IN CHRIST’S LOVE is a brief, yet comprehensive study of the Christian Church, describing what it should be, dealing with its current problems, scriptural sources, history, theological models, worship, mission, and governance. Authors Denise Lardner Carmody and John Tully Carmody also offer suggestions for the,fuller flourishing of today's Christian community.
BONDED IN CHRIST’S LOVE is ecumenical in both its sources and the range of issues it treats, including protestant and Eastern Orthodox traditions, Although the Carmodys' approach reflects their Roman Catholic background, they also bring to the study of the church a special expertise in non-Christian religions and on interest in christian spirituality. They deal seriously with liberationist and feminist issues.
