Trade ReviewThis collection will be appreciated both by those already familiar with Tom Greggs' vital contributions to contemporary Protestant ecclesiology, and by those encountering his work for the first time. It shows us a coherent and compelling theology 'at work' - in church communities, in ecumenical and interfaith conversations, and in a complex and divided world. Greggs' theological voice resounds with assurance, clarity and generosity of spirit, articulating and performing a vision of how the church, in the economy of salvation, is for the world. -- Rachel Muers, University of Leeds, UK
