Introduction to Ecumenism surveys the theological basis and development of the gospel impulse toward Christian unity, primarily, though not exclusively, from a Roman Catholic perspective. Topics include: 'History of Ecumenism,' 'Ecumenical Documents,' 'Theology of Ecumenism,' 'Ecumenical Principles,' 'The Churches Today,' and more. 'A user-friendly guide to the ecumenical struggle. More than a mere survey of historical texts, this study presents a theological and spiritual rationale for ecumenism as a gospel imperative! Seminary students and professors, local church leaders and their flocks - all will find this book indispensable as they too enter into the search for Christian unity.' --Paul Meyendorff.
