How can Christians claim to hold in common one Lord, one faith, and
one baptism while their churches remain splintered? Theological
giant Karl Barth's mature, historic discussion of the problem of
church unity still deserves careful attention.
Originally written for the 1937 Edinburgh World Conference on
Faith and Order, Barth's profound reflections continue to speak to
today's multiplicity of churches. While some of his subject matter
-- the predicament of churches in Germany before World War II, for
instance -- may now be of mostly historical interest, his call for
Christians to honestly listen to Christ through their various
traditions is as fresh and demanding as ever.
Through this thoughtful inquiry Barth brings clarity to the
relationship between the Church and the churches, calling believers
everywhere to a more serious confession of Christ. Those actively
engaged or interested in contemporary ecumenical ventures cannot
afford to ignore the foundation for unity laid out in this little
Barth volume.
