Nearly all Christians profess allegiance to the holy catholic church, but the meaning of the term\u003cbr\u003ecatholic is widely disputed. This book investigates the historical use of the word and the various aspects of catholicity. Beginning with the word's divine source in Christ as the first-born of all creation, Dulles goes on to discuss such topics as the catholic principle, Catholicism as a\u003cbr\u003especific ecclesial type, and the possibility of a Protestant Catholicism. He concludes by asking how, given the current parochial appearance of Christianity, any Christian church can plausibly claim to be catholic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Avery Dulles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 6.28w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198266952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAVERY DULLES is Professor Laurence J.
