This highly acclaimed classical study in Orthodox Ecclesiology is now available in English. 280pp Paper
Eucharist, Bishop, Church is the historical and theological study that explains the origin and the structure of the Church during the first three centuries. Zizioulas considers the ministry of the bishop as it is embodied in the celebration of the Eucharist as constituting and insuring the unity of the Chruch. This assertion forms the core concept of "eucharistic ecclesiology." Eucharist, Bishop, Church illuminates the history and theology of the Church's ministerial structures and in particular how the unity of the Church is served by the ministry of the bishop and revealed in the celebration of the Eucharist. The insights of this book significantly contribute to the ecumenical quest for the unity of the Church and places all the ministries of the Church in their proper ecclesiological perspective.
