Publisher's Synopsis
The contributions of this interdisciplinary volume, address questions of protestant ecclesiology in the perspective of the embodiment paradigm. In order to be understood adequately, it is argued, the church needs to be seen in the horizon of the ways in which it is embodied - socially, in persons, in cult, and in different media. Thus, the Christian church, regarded as a religious reality and as a visible institution in its different forms alike, is not merely an expression of the experience of oneself, of sacred space, or of the community, but rather shapes these dimensions of religious experience.
