Explorations in Analytic Ecclesiology proposes an account of the nature and practice of the Church that draws from work in contemporary analytic social metaphysics, social epistemology, and social ethics. In the first book-length study of ecclesiology in analytic theology, Joshua Cockayne offers a vision of the Church, according to which the Church is united as the body of Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit, despite the apparent diversity of the Church in its gathered, particular forms. This account of the oneness of the Church in and through the work of the persons of the Trinity is then applied to explore the nature of baptism, the eucharist, and liturgy.
It is written in a particularly accessible style, not only syntactically but also in respect of the popular references on which it draws (for example, Ratatouille and the Marvel Cinematic Universe). This is an important book both for those interested in ecclesiology and for analyticians generally. * Paul S. Scott, Independent Researcher, Dumfries, UK * Not only should Explorations in Analytic Ecclesiology serve as a foothold for discussions of ecclesiology within analytic theology and provide content for fruitful dialogue on the sacraments discussed, but it also shows how one can tease out the implications of analytic theological discourse for how one should act and operate within the Church. This volume is thus of extreme importance, both in terms of its content and its methodology. * Harvey Cawdron, Heythrop Journal *
