Ascension And Ecclesia

About this book

Recent theology offers few attempts to come to grips with the meaning and implications of the ascension of Jesus. Professor Farrow begins with a discussion of the biblical treatment of the ascension and Eucharistic celebration, from which emerges the unique ecclesial worldview.

In a final chapter he calls for an ecclesiology, which does not marginalise the human Jesus
