5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent overview of Catholic Ecumenical Theology,
By Paul Boman "Paul B" (Bethesda, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Ecumenism (Paperback)
Br. Jeffrey Gros, FSC and his colleague Ann Riggs have provided their readers with a clear, accurate and very readable introduction to the history and theology of the Ecumenical Movement from a Roman Catholic perspective. Completely devoid of polemics, the author is straightforward on the issues which divide and unite Christianity

1.0 out of 5 stars
This book does not tell both sides of the issues!,
This review is from: Introduction to Ecumenism (Paperback)
I recently puchased this book and found it to be very one-sided.
Roman Catholic sided! Of course most books written about the Ecumenical Movement over the last 45 years are written by Roman Catholic Authors with a Roman Catholic Slant. What about a Protestant perspective? Yes, Protestants are divided, but so is the Roman Catholic Church? Pre-Vatican II Catholics, and Post-Vatacan II Catholics. Where I live, in a predominate Roman Catholic city, I meet many Roman Catholics who are divided over Vatacan II Council concerning the Ecumenical Movement. I also meet many Protestants who are divided over the Ecumenical Movement. A thought provoking book written by a Protestant, "THE FINAL APOSTASY UNVEILED!" tells the other slant to the story. If Catholics and Protestants are to come to any agreement, We must get both sides of the Ecumenical issues.
