The Gift of the Church: A Textbook on Ecclesiology (Theology)
A valuable book which is many things. A commemoration of Patrick Granfield's efforts in giving courageous, new directions to the theology of church authority; a celebration of the renewal of the church, local and universal, by American ecclesiologists of the decades during and since Vatican II like Granfield, Richard McBrien, Michael Fahey, and Joseph Komonchak; a presentation of the theology of the church as a much needed general textbook.
