Description
Book SynopsisThe Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification
Trade ReviewAnyone interested in this critical ecumenical development will consider this volume a vital addition to the library.Religious Studies Review
The volume is quite general and accessible, and provides a valuable overview to ecumenism that often branches into areas well beyond that of the doctrine of justification. As such, it is a valuable companion piece to ecumenical research, and an informative analysis of the original documents.
Catholic Books ReviewOf special interest is the essay on the Eastern Orthodox perspective on justification, which views 'being saved' as an ongoing growth in the spirit rather than a once-for-all personal experience.
