CHRIST AND LIFE
Willfred Harrington, OP
The present-day Christian belongs to a church whose attitude to many things appears to have undergone some startling changes in recent years. As a result there is a danger that the preoccupation with side issues will obscure our recognition of the center of Christian life, Christ himself. The true function of the church, the author maintains, is that of a formation-community which helps the members to follow Christ as perfectly as possible. Reforms, designed to serve this idea are, regrettably in some danger of distracting many Christians from it. This is a book that biblical students and theologians will value, as will others who see the church today as bewilderingly different from the early apostolic community; here it becomes clear that the true identity of the church can always be found in Christ himself.
