Diakonia as Christian Social Practice

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In a time when the churches together are searching for how to be a servant church in a rapidly changing world, this book is presenting a remarkable source for reflection and for studies. It is conveying new perspectives on the meaning and the liberating power of the diakonia of the church. For deacons and indeed for anybody called to serve in and for the church, this book provides new insights. The ecumenical movement as a joint move into the future needs books like this.”

Eucharist

Preaching & Worship

“Ola Tjørhom’s book opens the rich ecumenical theological discourse on the meaning of the Eucharist, as well as the status of these dialogues. Furthermore, he also opens up a more profound and rich celebration of the Eucharist as the significant gift it is for all churches and Christians and for the communion given for them to celebrate together.”

God, the World, and Hope

Theology

“Professor Hegstad has a genuine interest in showing that a classical Lutheran theology can be a really promising and proper entry into a real ecumenical theology. The ecumenical dialogue is in need of an ongoing dogmatic reflection. He knows both well. The result is a good reader for students of dogmatics and for others who want to see ecumenical theology develop its roots and its perspectives of hope.”

Just Peace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

Foreword

“Just Peace is an ambitious goal for the World Council of Churches. However, it is the mandate for anyone who wants to follow the call of the kingdom of God. We need reflections like [these] to nurture our concepts and strengthen our commitment. Mosher and Enns are well-qualified guides in the landscape where we need to be.”

Unity as Prophetic Witness

History & Biography

“From being the voice of youth at the 1925 Stockholm Conference on Life and Work through to his work as the first general secretary of the World Council of Churches, W. A. Visser ‘t Hooft exercised a decisive influence on the ecumenical movement in the twentieth century. I am delighted that, with this book, Michael Kinnamon is introducing W. A. Visser 't Hooft to a new generation and showing how his insights continue to challenge the churches today.”
