In the minds of many Christians today, the church is not holy; it is difficult. Yet J. Alexander Sider argues that it is precisely when the church acknowledges its many faults and frailties — when it patiently confronts its own capacity to betray the gospel — that its true holiness is made manifest.

In To See History Doxologically Sider probingly examines John Howard Yoder’s eschatology and ecclesiology in conversation with Oliver O’Donovan, Ernst Troeltsch, Miroslav Volf, and others. Sider shows how Yoder’s thought redefines the church’s holiness not as something earned or possessed by its own virtue but as the ceaseless and ever-new gift of God throughout all time.
