Ultimately, this book follows the work of Eberhard Jüngel to propose a correspondence between the existence of the church and the existence of the triune God, in that both exist as \"a communion of mutual otherness.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e If God is who Christians say God is--if the Spirit is and does the work that Augustine and Jüngel say it does--then Christians are incorporated into a Body whose shape we are not free to determine. God's primary recognition of believers in the church affects a secondary recognition that, despite the very real harm Christians do perpetrate against one another in our performative divisions, should make us question the extent to which we can every truly do without one another.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathryn L.
