I deeply appreciate the fact that Radner will not allow us to be confortably self-decieved. in my opinion he’s the most interestung theologion in the Episcopal Church, and one if the most interesting in tge Anglican Communion today. his work is serious and always worth reading. From the review:

“Ephraim Radner is one of those rare theologians whose work can be described as “relentless.” His most recent book, A Brutal Unity, may be his most relentless yet. Radner dismantles every self-congratulatory, self-protective ecclesiology that blinds Christians to what is self-evident to everyone else: The Church is shattered. For Radner, our divisions are more than unhappy. One chapter title, “Division is Murder,” captures the book’s substance and its searing rhetoric.”
