Koinonia

Koinonia has great value for everyone concerned with the Church's role in the modern world and the place of religious communities in her mission, but is a necessity for those superiors of religious communities who guide the forces of renewal.

Rev. Zachary Grant, O.F.M. Cap.
Author of Paths to Renewal

In Koinonia's four parts, Ciardi first looks at New Testament roots of community, then studies the theological and spiritual development of community life further considers it theological basis, and finally outlines a methodology for living out and renewing the life of communion. This is a work of great scholarship, one that will in equal measure inspire and enlighten the reader. It speaks specifically to men and women living in community life (religious, members of secular institutes and lay movements) but has much to offer to anyone seriously interested in the spiritual life.
