Nearly all Christians profess allegiance to the holy catholic church, but the meaning of the term \"catholic\" is widely disputed. This book investigates the historical use of the word and the various aspects of catholicity. Beginning with the word's divine source in Christ as \"the first-born of all creation\" Dulles goes on to discuss such topics as the \"catholic principle\" Catholicism as a specific ecclesial type, and the possibility of a \"Protestant Catholicism\" He concludes by asking how, given the current \"parochial\" appearance of Christianity, any Christian church can plausibly claim to be catholic.\n      Review      \nThe premier ecclesiastical thinker of our time.--\nAmerica\n\nYet another fine ecclesiological monograph.\nThe Catholicity of the Church is made attractive by the intellectual virtues we have come to associate with its author.--\nTheological Studies\n\nThis is a fine book, providing a framework for fruitful dialogue among Christians of all traditions.--\nJournal of Theological Studies\n\nOnce again, Dulles has given us a comprehensive, balanced, and ecumenically sensitive study.--\nJournal of Religion\n\nThis is a refreshing and challenging book, and is of considerable ecumenical importance.--Oliver Rafferty, S.J.,\nThe Month\n\n\n      Review      \n'\nThe Catholicity of the Church is made attractive by the intellectual virtues we have come to associate with its author.'
