Brutal Unity
Book •
In Brutal Unity Ephraim Radner explores the theological and historical dimensions of Christian disunity, arguing that division inflicts deep moral and ecclesial harms.
He examines historical examples and contemporary ecumenical efforts to show how institutional, doctrinal, and personal divisions weaken the church's ability to witness.
Radner emphasizes that genuine reconciliation requires sacrificial practices and the sharing of life—not merely procedural agreements.
The book engages biblical texts, historical case studies, and pastoral concerns to propose a demanding vision of unity rooted in the Eucharist and mutual charity.
It is a provocation to take church unity seriously as both a spiritual and public concern.
