Founded by Charles Colson and Richard John Neuhaus in 1994,
Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT) has fostered a fruitful
conversation on the meaning of the gospel in today's world. Over
the course of twenty years, ECT has issued nine statements
addressing contemporary topics. This one-volume guide, the first
collection of the ECT statements, explores the key accomplishments
of this groundbreaking, ongoing dialogue. Introductions and notes
provide context and discuss history and future prospects. The book
also includes prefaces by J. I. Packer and Cardinal Timothy Dolan,
a foreword by George Weigel, and an epilogue by R. R. Reno and
Kevin J. Vanhoozer.
In the areas of peacebuilding and conflict resolution, the word
'reconciliation' has often been branded a negative term because it
implies a resolution agreed upon by all parties in a given society,
which for many seems an unachievable ideal. This book looks at the
concept of reconciliation from a theological point of view,
analysing its use historically within theology and presenting a new
model of a practical theology of reconciliation. Using narrative
research, it explores this idea within the context of Northern
Ireland and offers valuable insights into the theological use of
reconciliation by members of communities based in a conflict zone.
The goal of Embodied Peacebuilding is to establish reconciliation
as a prominent concept in the field of practical theology and to
give a voice to those peacebuilders who are using reconciliation as
a common theme within Northern Ireland.
As Christians, we belong to not only a diverse global Christian
family but also a diverse human family. Todd Johnson, a noted
expert on global Christianity and world missions trends, and Cindy
Wu show how divisions within these families work against our desire
to bring about positive change in the world. They provide an
overview of global Christian identity, exploring how we can be
faithful to our own tradition while engaging Christians across
denominations and be better informed as we work with people of
other religions. The book utilizes the latest research data on
global Christianity and world religions and includes tables,
graphs, charts, and end-of-chapter discussion questions.
