Work of Love
A Theological Reconstruction of the Communion of Saints
by Leonard J. DeLorenzo
Monday, May 1, 2017
5:30pm to 6:30pm
Eck Visitor Center, University of Notre Dame
"Work of Love: A Theological Reconstruction of the Communion of Saints is a masterly contribution by a promising young theologian. Building upon and irenically critiquing Thiel and Johnson, DeLorenzo shows why the communion of saints is not a mere pious add-on to Catholic theology, but instead belongs to its very heart. Today we are facing an urgent need to retrieve the theology of the communion of saints, lest our ecclesiology and pastoral practice wither away on a merely sociological vine. This book is a major first step toward revitalizing the core of Christian communio." —Matthew Levering, James N. and Mary D. Perry, Jr. Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary
