Cavell Companionship and Christian Theology

In recent decades theologians and philosophers of religion have engaged in a vigorous debate concerning the status and nature of ecclesiology. Throughout this debate they have found resources for their arguments in concepts of political philosophy particularly communitarianism and political liberalism. In this groundbreaking study Peter Dula turns instead to the work of philosopher Stanley Cavell examining the ways in which Cavell's understanding of companionship contributes to the debate over church and community.
