Friendship's particularity -- The Church -- a community of friends -- Conclusion. 520 Is the Church a community of friends? Steve Summers explores the significance of friendship for our understanding of the church today. Since Jesus' statement in St John's gospel "I call you friends" the concept of friendship has had a huge influence on the Christian understanding of community. But is the historical understanding of friendship enough to serve the needs of the church in a post-modern age? Steve Summers explores the limits of the concept as well as it's possible use in contemporary ecclesiology. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Friendship|xReligious aspects|xChristianity.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103543 650 0 Church.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85025502 650 7 Friendship|xReligious aspects|xChristianity.|2fast|0https: //id.worldcat.org/fast/935185 650 7 Church.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/860364 650 7 Friendships.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0000455 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSummers, S.
