The concept of an ethical community is the concept of a people of God under ethical laws.
IV. The idea of a people of God cannot be realized (by human organization) except in the form of a churchV. The constitution of each and every church always proceeds from some historical (revealed) faith, which we can call ecclesiastical faith, and this is best founded on a holy scripture; VI. Ecclesiastical faith has the pure faith of religion for its supreme interpreter; VII. The gradual transition of ecclesiastical faith toward the exclusive dominion of pure religious faith is the coming of the realm of God.
Summary: A rigorous and comprehensive commentary, showing how the Religion develops key themes in Kant's mature philosophy.
