A gem on the topic of Christian Unity, a gem that has passed the test of time,
By Gabriel E. Borlean (Odense, Denmark - birthtown of fairytale-writer H.C. Andersen) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Church and the Churches (Paperback)
This 54 page little booklet, "The Church and the churches" is the speech that famous 20th century theologian, Karl Barth, gave at an international and ecumenical Christian conference in Edinburg Scotland in 1937. This monumnetal meeting was another brick layed at building the Unity that Christ prayed for his Disciples and the Believers in the Gospel according to John chapter 17.I read the booklet, slowly, once. My impression while reading Karl, is that after finishing one paragraph I thought I knew what he was going to talk about in the next paragraph. To my surprise, he talked about something opposite and something challenging and thought-provoking. I feel that I need to read this little ecumenical gem some 4 times more, in order to get more out of it. Amazingly, Karl Barth's speech back in 1937 is as relevant to us Christians (Protestants, Orthodox, and Catholic believers) today as it was back then for the ecumenical audience (which is pictured on the front cover). A great addition to anyone's library or read on the topic of Christian Unity or Ecumenism. |
