Description:
"The 700 entries in this Dictionary of the Ecumenical Movement have been written by 370 leading figures in the ecumenical movement from every Christian confession and all parts of the world. Entries are fully cross-referenced, and many of the articles are enhanced by short bibliographies." "Entries cover the areas of faith and order, dialogue, mission and evangelism, communication, church and society, moral theology, theological education, institutional histories, relations of Orthodox, Protestants and Roman Catholics within the ecumenical movement, ecumenism in the regions. Biographical sketches outline the contributions of some of the individuals who have furthered the cause of ecumenism in the 20th century. Cross references direct the reader to more detailed information or to matters of related interest, and the bibliographical items have often been chosen precisely because they yield further information." "For anyone involved and interested in the issues, history and events of the ecumenical movement, this book provides a wealth of up-to-date information available in no other single source."--BOOK JACKET.
