Reviews

' Reshaping Ecumenical Theology would be a good book for students or others who know little about ecumenism and need a simple, general introduction to the search for Christian unity.'--,


'In Reshaping Ecumenical Theology: The Church Made Whole? Paul Avis presents a penetrating analysis of the current state of ecumenical theology and a fresh vision for its renewal. Skilfully summarising a huge amount of source material, Avis provides a concise overview of ecumenical theology before outlining ideas for 'reshaping' it in creative ways that open up new possibilities for tackling as yet unresolved issues... As Avis' readers have come to expect from him, this present volume is clear-sighted, highly readable and engaging.'--Ecclesiology
