The Oxford Handbook of Ecumenical Studies is an unparalleled
compendium of ecumenical history, information and reflection. With
essay contributions by nearly fifty experts in their various
fields, and edited by two leading international scholars, the
Handbook is a major resource for all who are involved or interested
in ecumenical work for reconciliation between Christians and for
the unity of the Church. Its six main sections consider,
respectively, the different phases of the history of the ecumenical
movement from the mid-nineteenth century to the present; the ways
in which leading Christian churches and traditions, Orthodox,
Anglican, Methodist, Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Baptist, and
Pentecostal, have engaged with and contributed to the movement; the
achievements of ecumenical dialogue in key areas of Christian
doctrine, such as Christology and ecclesiology, baptism, Eucharist
and ministry, morals and mission, and the issues that remain
outstanding; various ecumenical agencies and instruments, such as
covenants and dialogues, the World Council of Churches, the
Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Global
Christian Forum; the progress and difficulties of ecumenism in
different countries, areas and continents of the world, the UK and
the USA, Africa, Asia, South America, Europe, and the Middle East,
; and finally two all-important questions are considered by
scholars from various traditions: what would Christian unity look
like and what is the best method for seeking it? This is a
remarkably comprehensive account and assessment of one of the most
outstanding features of Christian history, namely the modern
ecumenical movement.
