Description
Summary:Three scholars offer their comments on Bernhard Knorn’s Versöhnung und Kirche: Theologische Ansätze zur Realisierung des Friedens mit Gott in der Welt. Dennis Doyle reads the work with a focus on the work’s ecumenical dimensions, focusing especially on the potential of contemporary Catholic sacramental theology. Simone Sinn draws upon her work with the Lutheran World Federation to consider how Christians can communicate their theological narratives in ways that foster both ecumenical progress and processes of reconciliation in the world. She affirms the identification of the church as an actual place of reconciliation, but questions whether Lutherans can rightly think of the church itself as a sacrament. Ralf Wüstenberg first offers an appreciative analysis of Knorn’s sacramental ecclesiology. He then raises questions concerning parallel efforts already made by Protestant theologians as well as the relevance of Knorn’s approach for non-Christians. Knorn responds to the questions raised.
