Community of Missionary Disciples: The Continuing Creation of the Church

  "This monograph is an unparalleled theological resource for understanding the ecclesiological implications of the mission of the church. As such, it should be required reading for students of Christian theology and at the top of anyone’s reading list who is interested in learning more about what it means to be and perform church in the 21st century. Indeed, Community of Missionary Disciples is Bevans’ magnum opus and will leave readers eager to get their hands on whatever he writes next." - Marcus Timothy Haworth, Reading Religion, University of Notre Dame. “Steve Bevans draws on his lifelong scholarship, teaching, and ministry to elaborate a comprehensive and challenging ecclesiology. [This volume,] characterized by unparalleled depth of scholarship, open ecumenism, rich pastoral insights, and trademark lucidity, will be an instant classic. No course on ecclesiology can do without it.” –Peter C. Phan, Ignacio Ellacuria, SJ, Chair of Catholic Social Thought, Georgetown University  “
