{"product_id":"9780819229717-the-church-in-history","title":"The Church in History","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unique approach to understanding the history of the Anglican and Episcopal Churches was originally part of the 1979 Church's Teaching Series. Rather than writing a simple chronological history of the Church, John Booty, one of the premier experts in church history, explores the subject thematically. He addresses four major areas: \u003cbr\u003e-- the Church and its essential nature\u003cbr\u003e-- how a weak and faltering Church can be renewed and reformed\u003cbr\u003e-- how Christ, culture, church, and state relate to one another\u003cbr\u003e-- the Church's historical and current understanding of its mission\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Booty concentrates not only on the history itself, but how that history relates to today's Church. Excellent for course work, or for lay study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John E.
