What Makes the Church "The Church"? Ecclesiology

In this episode, we'll meet with theologian Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen and discuss his book "An Introduction to Ecclesiology."

We'll chat with Kärkkäinen about the theological questions he poses about ecclesiology (the doctrine of the church). What is the church, and why are there so many diverse expressions of it? What are the major traditions and why do we have different traditions if we have one universal church? Kärkkäinen will share his thoughts about the major traditions, global perspectives, and key elements of the church's mission, governance, worship, and more.

Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen (Dr.Theol.Habil., University of Helsinki) is professor of systematic theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and docent of ecumenics at the University of Helsinki. He is ordained by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and is also an expert on Pentecostal/charismatic movements.
