This academic text by Sjoerd Mulder explores the "turn to the church" in twentieth and twenty-first-century theology, examining how prominent thinkers have re-emphasized the church's nature, practices, and role in contemporary society. The author analyzes the contributions of John Milbank, Stanley Hauerwas, and Nicholas Healy from the modern era, and Romano Guardini, Odo Casel, and Henri de Lubac from an earlier period, highlighting their diverse approaches to understanding the church. A central theme is the rejection of viewing the church as merely a private or secondary institution, instead advocating for its integral and unique significance in the world. The study emphasizes how these theologians grapple with the marginalization of Christianity in modern society, proposing that a robust, practice-oriented, and inclusively catholic understanding of the church offers a vital response to contemporary challenges.This is a book review or commentary on an academic subject with content curated by Ivelisse Valentin-Vera and recorded with the power of NotebookLM to ensure every AI generated conversation is accurate, deep and accessible, and does not represent the opinion of the authors.www.ivelissevalentin.comDisclaimer: This episode features a book review or commentary recorded with AI.
