ABSTRACT

The twofold nature of the church can be described by Earth in terms of a relation between event and institution, or, of that between the invisible and the visible church, and these relations are defined by and included within the more general framework of the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Christian community. We now take up the question of the form and order of the Christian community, itself determined by the relationship between Christ and the church, a relationship governed, determined, and shaped by a Christological logic.
