This critically annotated bibliography includes entries for over
1300 books on ecumenism published between 1950 and 1992. It also
describes 85 journals devoted to ecumenism. Unlike most
bibliographies, the volume offers a thorough analysis of the
strengths and weaknesses of specific publications. It provides a
theological and historical record of Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican,
and Protestant ecumenical literature, and is a guide to the works
of the World Council of Churches, the Second Vatican Council, and
modern bilateral dialogues. The reference begins with an
introductory essay that describes the various types of ecumenical
publications and discusses the historical events that occasioned
their production. The bibliography follows, with entries arranged
in topical chapters. The first chapter includes entries for older
bibliographies, encyclopedias, handbooks, and other reference
works. It also overviews journals and research centers devoted to
ecumenism. The next chapter contains historical accounts of the
ecumenical movement. The following chapter collects accounts given
by members of various Christian confessions to explain their own
church's understanding of ecumenism. A chapter on bilateral and
multilateral consultations follows, and a final chapter addresses
specific doctrinal issues. The book concludes with detailed author,
title, and subject indexes.
