This book is a compendium of the nine joint statements published by the ecumenical dialogue team called Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT). It's an excellent single-volume testament, if you will, of the painstaking work by this group of serious theologians on areas of agreement, as well as on those issues that continue to divide Evangelical Christians and Catholics.

When this project started twenty years ago, who could of imagined the depth and breadth of these discussions, to say nothing of their longevity. In those days, it seemed that "ground zero" for ecumenical dialogue was between the mainline churches and Rome (or between Rome and the Orthodox churches). Well, those discussions have all but ground to a halt due to a seeming lack of interest on the part of the Protestants. That's because they have become transfixed with women's ordination, abortion, gay marriage, gay ordination, and an ever growing list of "social justice" issues, to include denunciations of "white male privilege," etc. As an indication of how the dialogue is going between the Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation - once a promising endeavor - their combined website hasn't been updated in two years.

These ECT visionaries knew that there was far more in common with each other than that which divided them - despite the occasional hyperbolic screeds from both traditions to the contrary. They have harnessed their intellectual prowess to "bravely go where no man has gone before." I thoroughly recommend this book. It's easy to read, yet challenging no matter where you stand on the ecclesiastical spectrum.

May the work of ECT continue for another twenty years and beyond. Great work Timothy George and Thomas Guarino.

Format: Paperback
Over twenty years ago, a group of Evangelicals and Catholics have come together to dialogue on the common matters of faith. Founded by Charles Colson and Richard John Neuhaus in 1994, the Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT) produced nine statements of faith. The key aim is to affirm that while they do have serious differences in belief, they too have lots of common ground. Together, they believe that:
They have more in common than differences
They desire a deepening understanding of each other
They want to demonstrate what it means to tolerate differences
They want to re-examine at why certain issues are so difficult to resolve
They want to champion religious freedom through mature dialogue
They can encourage deeper theological discussions so that both parties can learn from one another.
They can engage the culture, society, political, and social strata.
In this book, three themes form the basis of dialogue:
The content of the Christian faith
The place of Scripture and Tradition
Ecclesial Reform

Each of the nine statements of faith are accompanied by an essay written by a respected theologian. On "Unity," Timothy George, founding dean of Beeson Divinity School writes about the project as an initiative that represents a group of individuals rather than the institutions they represent. On "Justification," Thomas Oden compares and contrasts the two sides' interpretations of justification by faith alone. Rather than getting stuck on the nitty gritty of faith and works, the common motivation is to preach the gospel to all who have not heard about the grace of God.
