Description: This book is the follow-up volume to Pentecostalism
and Christian Unity: Ecumenical Documents and Critical Assessments.
The first volume documented the history and ecumenical engagement
of Pentecostals during the twentieth century. This new collection
traces the ecumenical developments, narratives, and conversations
during the first decade of the twenty-first century. The ecumenical
community and Pentecostals have consistently lamented the absence
of a comprehensive gathering of resources for both groups. This
particular volume provides two significant assets in this regard:
(1) documentation of new and emerging conversations that have not
yet produced official reports, and (2) official reports from
continuing conversations. The book begins with an overview of a
century of Pentecostal participation in Christian unity. Part One
contains ecumenical narratives on the Joint Consultative Group of
Pentecostals and the World Council of Churches, Lutherans and
Pentecostals, the Global Christian Forum, and Christian Churches
Together in the USA. Part Two contains the extensive reports from
the official dialogue of Pentecostals with the Roman Catholic
Church, the World Alliance of Reformed Churches, and the
Oneness-Trinitarian Pentecostal dialogue. This collection presents
an invaluable resource for teachers, scholars, and pastors
interested in engaging the global Christian arena from the
worldwide and ecumenical perspectives of Pentecostalism.
Endorsements: "Wolfgang Vondey's latest collection of
twenty-first-century reports, the fruit of a variety of ecumenical
dialogues with pentecostal participation, should go far toward
informing Pentecostals of the facts. They should also alleviate
pentecostal fears concerning the theological agenda of the
ecumenical movement and those Pentecostals who have been called to
work in it." --Cecil M. Robeck, Jr., Professor of Church History
and Ecumenics, Fuller Theological Seminary "The second volume of
Pentecostalism and Christian Unity, like the first, is a gift to
the whole church. Here again Wolfgang Vondey gathers documents from
ecumenical dialogues involving Pentecostals. . . . These two
volumes are a vital resource for understanding not only
Pentecostalism, but also the church itself. These volumes document
and herald the much-sought entry of Pentecostalism into the
ecumenical movement. May they have the impact--within
Pentecostalism and beyond it--they so richly deserve." --Barry
Ensign-George, Associate for Theology, Presbyterian Church (USA)
