People Of Bread: Rediscovering Ecclesiology

Introduces the reader to the social, moral, missiological, sacramental, ecumenical, and eschatological dimensions of the Church through the biblical story of bread.

Wolfgang Vondey contends that the story of the church is a story of the people of bread. The image of bread is one of the richest and, at the same time, one of the most neglected images in the scriptures that speak to an ecumenical understanding of the church. Drawing from scripture, writers of the early church, and cutting-edge debates in contemporary scholarship, his book unfolds the social, moral, missiological, ecumenical, and eschatological dimensions of the church based on the story of bread. People of Bread speaks to a growing interest in an understanding of the church by addressing the widespread revival of the theological imagination.
