The theology of communion, or Koinonia, has been at the centre of
the ecumenical movement for more than thirty years. It is central
to the self-understanding of the Anglican, Roman Catholic and
Orthodox Churches, and has been prominent in the work of the World
Council of Churches. This book, based on the 1996 Hulsean Lectures,
examines the significance of Koinonia for contemporary ecumenical
theology, tracing the development of contemporary understanding in
critical engagement with the thoughts of Plato, Aristotle, the
Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, the Cappadocian Fathers and
Augustine. In each case, reflection on community life is related to
actual communities in which texts were produced. The importance of
conflict and the place of politics for the Koinonia that
constitutes the Christian churches is a major theme throughout.
Communion is seen as a gift to be received and a discipline to be
cultivated in the continuing practice of ecumenism.
