This is definitely the most in-depth study on methodological issues related to 35 years of international ecumenical dialogue between the Roman Catholic church and Classical Pentecostalism. A careful study of the final reports of each dialogue phase makes it clear that, once the unique dialogue method of raising and answering to hard questions was firmly established, the theological quality of the dialogue could benefit. The discovery that a rich variety of theological sources has been used in the final reports allows for fruitful comparison with other bilateral dialogues. Peter de Mey, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium The International Roman Catholic-Classical Pentecostal Dialogue is a remarkable discussion that has already enjoyed over four decades of existence. Creemers has written what I believe is the single most significant study of this dialogue to date. He places the dialogue within the larger ecumenical context and demonstrates its value on a number of fronts. His examination of the unique methodology employing hard questions in this dialogue is unparalleled and it points to their significance as yet another tool that can aid in the continuing development in the field of ecumenics. This is a valuable contribution to those seeking information on the two largest Christian families in the world, to professional ecumenists who are interested in documentation, and to students.
