It focuses on the ecclesiastical issues that the \u003ci\u003eJoint Declaration\u003c\/i\u003e identified as the remaining obstacles to Lutheran-Catholic communion. It describes the church as the communion of saints and then uses that description as a framework for addressing some of the most ecumenical issues: sacraments, ministry, the role of the church in salvation, and papacy. \u003cbr\u003e While not claiming to have finally settled such difficult issues \u003ci\u003eCommunio Sanctorum\u003c\/i\u003e does represent a new convergence on these questions. Uniquely, the dialogue then uses this understanding of the communion of the saints to address issues related to the communion that transcends death: the nature of eternal life, prayers for the dead, veneration of the saints and Mary. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommunio Sanctorum\u003c\/i\u003e has sparked vigorous debate in Germany and makes a major contribution both to Lutheran-Catholic dialogue and to the wider ecumenical enterprise. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9.14 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45133443235919,"sku":"9780814625668","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/lBAbS-S2rt9780814625668.webp?v=1776905696","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/communio-sanctorum-the-church-as-the-communion-of-saints-paperback","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
