Synopsis

Countryman offers a way of understanding the priesthood of the whole people of God and the priesthood of the ordained by showing how both are rooted in the fundamental priestly nature of human life. After an exploration of the ministries of laity and ordained, he examines the implications of this view for churches and for educating those studying for ordination.
