Overview
This trilogy presents a massive study in ecclesiology by Roger D. Haight, SJ. This multi-layered work traces the development of the church’s understanding of itself from the time of Christ, through the Reformation, to the present day.
In the first two volumes, Historical Ecclesiology and Comparative Ecclesiology, Haight examines the structure of the Christian church at each period of its development, striving to be faithful to the historical, social, and political reality of each era. The third volume, Ecclesial Existence, describes the commonalities between churches—retrieving ecclesiological constants from Scripture to portray the shared ecclesial existence among today’s churches.

Praise for the Print Edition
While maintaining the theological nature of his study, Roger Haight’s historical ecclesiology lays a sturdy foundation in a historical, sociological analysis of the beginnings and development of the Christian church from its origin in Jesus of Nazareth to the eve of the Reformation . . . each chapter concludes with a social historical analysis and a few illuminating pages that draw out principles for historical theology. It is these analytic pages that set Haight’s book apart from other studies. . . . This is a groundbreaking volume.
