- Notes
- "[By] W.A. Visser 'tHooft".
- Includes bibliographical references.
- "From the first centuries A.D. and throughout the history of the Christian church, one fundamental question has continually arisen: What is the proper relationship between the 'magistri', or theological teachers, and the 'magisterium', the authority which decides what is the teaching of the church ? .... This book is published in celebration of Visser 't Hooft's birth one hundred years ago. Although it emerges from an unfinished manuscript written in the mid-1980s, the book makes an important and timely contribution to an ongoing debate within the churches". -- back cover.
