Treasure in Earthen Vessels: The Church as a Human Community
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gustafson, James M., PUBLISHER: Westminster John Knox Press, When first published in , Treasure in Earthen Vessels was hailed by H. Richard Niebuhr as "the first real sociology of the church." Here, James M. Gustafson examines the church as a human institution that must, and does, participate in the social structure of all human communities. His penetrating analysis remains an important contribution to the dialogue between the theological and social-scientific disciplines. Gustafson has written a new preface for this volume.
