Description: This volume proposes a fresh strategy for ecumenical engagement -- "Receptive Ecumenism" -- that is fitted to the challenges of the contemporary context and has already been internationally recognized as making a distinctive and important new contribution to ecumenical thought and practice. Beyond this, the volume tests and illustrates this proposal by examining what Roman Catholicism in particular might fruitfully learn from its ecumenical others.
Challenging the tendency for ecumenical studies to ask, whether explicitly or implicitly, "What do our others need to learn from us?" this volume presents a radical challenge to see ecumenism move forward into action by highlighting the opposite question "hat can we learn with integrity from our others?"
This approach is not simply ecumenism as shared mission, or ecumenism as problem-solving and incremental agreement but ecumenism as a vital long-term program of individual, communal and structural conversion driven, like the Gospel that inspires it, by the promise of conversion into greater life and flourishing. The aim is for the Christian traditions to become more, not less, than they currently are by learning from, or receiving of, each other's gifts.
The 32 original essays that have been written for this unique volume explore these issues from a wide variety of denominational and disciplinary perspectives, drawing together ecclesiologists, professional ecumenists, sociologists, psychologists, and organizational experts.

Description: What was the relationship between the church, Scripture, and the creeds of the early church? What implications do these creeds, specifically the Nicene Creed, have in today¹s postmodern, ecumenical context? Nicene Christianity presents some of the world¹s premier theologians in an exploration and exposition of the Nicene Creed and explores the practical implications of confessing the Creed as Christians, then and now.

Description: The gospel places peacemaking at the center of the identity of the Christian church. Over the centuries, however, churches have divided over the specific place of this peacemaking imperative in their lives and teachings. This volume offers deep, ecumenical discussion of the relationship of the church to its peacemaking mission from the standpoints of history and the contemporary context. Contributors representing ten major faith traditions address this crucial topic from the perspective of their own churches and explore pathways that could lead to the reconciliation of existing differences.

Description: The nature and role of the Holy Spirit is a subject that has intrigued, mystified, and divided Christians for centuries. Drawing from biblical references and personal experience, Krister Stendahl depicts this member of the Trinity as the driving force, the creative energy, and the animating breath of the whole creation. Energy for Life offers a rare perspective on how the Holy Spirit is able to draw together humanity, in its rich diversity, in order to resolve such complicated issues as divisions in the church, the preservation of the beauty of creation, and the meaning of human existence in the imago Dei, the image of God.

Description: In the wake of the September 11 attacks on the U.S., Religions for Peace confronts a baffling paradox. If all the major religions of the world promote peace, why is it that we find ourselves waging so many wars in the name of God? Francis Cardinal Arinze has devoted his life to facilitating dialogues between the leaders of numerous faiths around the world. Although he is based in Catholicism, Arinze offers a beautifully rendered chapter on how the major religions revere peace (including Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Taoism). "In the past 17 years," writes Arinze, "I have not come into contact with the follower of any religion who does not regard his or her religion as in favor of peace." So what's going wrong? The root of the problem, according to Arinze, is intolerance, the inability to respect other religions, races, and cultures. He devotes most of his book to what individuals and religious groups can do to promote world peace: emphasize the holiness of tolerance; be willing to see how your religion has perpetuated violence; provide information on "the negative and terrible effects of war"; and join together to pray for peace. --Gail Hudson

Description: The rise of fundamentalism in the three monotheistic faiths is fully examined in this textbook. It is not about fundamentalism however, but it is about its opposite trend: religious syncretism. Syncretism describes the phenomenon of one religion borrowing elements from another, and it is part of religion that fundamentalists will seldom acknowledge. This textbook explores Judaism, Christianity and Islam, using compelling examples of how syncretism works and looks, to show how these three religions have adopted customs and conceptions of other religions, most often acquiring practices from pagan predecessors and neighbours. The book shows how these three faiths - despite how modern media would have us believe - have been willing, at various times and places, to borrow.

Description: Included in this exhaustive collection of documents from the twentieth-century ecumenical movement are significant passages from the most widely influential texts produced by assemblies, conferences, and studies of the World Council of Churches and similar bodies, covering the three broad areas of historic concern within modern ecumenism: faith and order, life and work, and mission and evangelism. Designed as a resource for courses in ecumenism in theological seminaries and faculties of religion, the volume can also serve as a useful reference guide. In addition to selections from the WCC and other global Christian bodies, the collection includes texts from various regions of the world. From The Critics "This anthology is useful as a resource for teaching, whether upper-level college courses, seminaries, congregations, or workshops, and an excellent reference tool for those involved in ecumenical efforts. Likely to become a standard work, this text inspires readers with a vision that holds the search for unity and the pursuit of justice, explicit witness to Christ, and renewal of creation, in appropriate tension. A valuable reference tool for all engaged in common Christian witness and service. "A "must" for all theological libraries and a necessary tool for all who study or teach the ecumenical movement or simply wish to understand where the churches are today-and why!" - Religious Studies Review "This anthology is useful as a resource for teaching, whether upper-level college courses, seminaries, congregations, or workshops, and an excellent reference tool for those involved in ecumenical efforts. Likely to become a standard work, this text inspires readers with a vision that holds the search for unity and the pursuit of justice, explicit witness to Christ, and renewal of creation, in appropriate tension. A valuable reference tool for all engaged in common Christian witness and service." - Missiology
