The Trinity and Ecumenical Church Thought
Av William C. Ingle-Gillis, 2016.Del av serien Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies.
The Church-Event
Some hundred years from inception, the ecumenical movement is stagnating. William C. Ingle-Gillis argues that the problem lies in modern ecumenism?s treatment of denominational Churches as provisional entities requiring reunion to be more fully Christ?s Body. In a work unique both to ecumenical studies and to trinitarian theology, the author redefines ecclesial life from the premise that God?s essence is personhood-in-communion and that the ultimate calling of human persons is to share as fully in the divine life as Christ himself. Concluding that the Churches are, by the Spirit?s action, a tangible, dynamic event, wherein God makes visible his on-going reconciliation of the world to himself, Ingle-Gillis argues that the Churches? true life lies in coming-together, rather than being-together. This conclusion places ecumenism at the heart of Church life and witness.
