Fr John Fuellenbach is a Divine Word Missionary. He reaches Fundamental Theology at the Gregorian University, at the Beda College both in Rome and at the School of Theology in St. Augustine, Germany. He holds a doctorate from the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. For seven years he taught at the Divine Word Seminary School of Theology in Tagaytay, Philippines and for shorter periods in a variety of places. He wrote several books. The most recent are: Proclaiming His Kingdom (Manila: Logos Publications, 4th ed., 1994); the kingdom of God Jesus Central Message (Orbis, New York, 1995) and Throw Fire (Manila: Logos Publications, 2nd ed., 1998). Integrating missiology and ecclesiology in a vision of a church in mission made up of all the world’s peoples. Fuellenbach explores the church’s life as worshiping community, as communion, as Body Christ working to make the world reflect Kingdom values. “With his guiding image of the Church in service of the Kingdom, Fuellenbach has achieved an admirable, engaging balancing act: he both represents standard, middle-of-the-road Catholic theology of the Church and stretches that theology to explore new road. One learns what the Magisterium and theologians are saying about the church and what are the new questions they have to address. For Fuellenbach, the Church will be faithful to Jesus’ notion of the Kingdom only if it can respond to the challenge of cultural pluralism and the growing gap between rich and poor. This is a book that is solid enough for graduate courses on the church and clear enough to both inform and engage undergraduates. – Paul F. Knitter, Xavier University Cincinnati “Fuellenbach skillfully combines the latest theological scholarship, personal wisdom from years of teaching experience, and pastoral sensitivity to produce and ecclesiology that nourishes Christian Life in community and in society. Clearly, a book to read and profit from if one wants to know the contemporary implications of what gripped Jesus as a person.” – Jose de Mesa, De La Salle university, Philippines
