The Mystical Body of Christ, first published in 1935, is a seminal contribution to ecclesiology—the study of the Church—from one of the twentieth century's most acclaimed evangelists.In a culture where many people identify as "spiritual but not religious," The Mystical Body is as relevant as ever. Fulton J. Sheen takes believers into a greater knowledge of their own role in the grand communion of saints with the wit and insight that made him a household name.Sheen elegantly walks readers through the Scriptures and the rich Catholic theological tradition to establish the inseparability of Christ and his Church, addressing issues such as the Eucharist, the Incarnation, social justice, and priestly scandals. Sheen contends that the Church is not a barrier to encountering Christ, but rather the dynamic Body of Christ himself.
