Robert Jenson observes in the preface to his Systematic Theology, Volume I that “to live as the church in a situation of a divided church–if this can happen at all–must at least mean that we confess we live in a radical self-contradiction and that by every churchly act we contradict that contradiction (vii).” Jenson notes that theology can only done in the “unitary church of the creed.” Theology is ecclesiology.
