Overview
In the first volume of Essays in Ecumenical Theology Ivana Noble depicts differences between what she calls a sectarian outlook and one which engages in the search for common roots, dialogical relationships and shared mission in a world that has largely become post-Christian, but often also post-secular. Drawing on both Western and Orthodox scholarship, and expressing her own positions, Noble sketches what ecumenical theology is, how it is linked to spirituality, the methods it uses, how it developed during the twentieth century, and the challenges it faces. Specific studies deal with controversial interpretations of Jan Hus, Catholic Modernism, the problematic heritage of the totalitarian regimes, and responses to the current humanitarian crisis.

Reviews
Der Sammelband verdeutlicht, wie oekumenische Theologie, die uber die Grenzen der eigenen Konfession hinausschaut, zur Erweiterung des eigenene Horizonts beitragt. N. setzt sich besonders intensiv mit den Denkbewegungen zeitgenoessischer orthodoxer und katholischer Theologen auseinander. (...) N's Essays bieten daher einen inspirierenden Einblick in Ziele, Methoden, Themene under Kontexte oekumenischer Theologie. , Johannes Oeldmann, Paderborn, in: Theologische Literaturzeitung, Volume 145.7-8 (2020) The publication is a great contribution to dialogue and an inspiration for present and future theologians and those interested in theology. It fulfilled what it set out to do - to introduce a viable alternative to the type of ecumenism that chooses isolated perspectives of religion (whether Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant or other) and their conversations while emphasising the importance of the different contexts which shape ecumenical theology, whose unity of faith is but one.
