Synopsis:

This standard reference work is indispensable for students and scholars, church leaders and pastors. For anyone involved and interested in the issues, history and events of the ecumenical movement, the dictionary provides a wealth of up-to-date information available in no other single source. The 700 entries have been written by some 370 leading figures in the ecumenical movement from every Christian confession and all parts of the world. Entries cover the areas of faith and order, dialogue, mission and evangelism, communication, church and society, moral theology, theological education, institutional histories, relations of Orthodox, Protestants and Catholics within the ecumenical movement, and ecumenism in the regions. Biographical sketches outline the contributions of some of the individuals who have furthered the cause of ecumenism in the 20th century. Cross references direct the reader to more detailed information or to matters of related interest, and the bibliographical items have often been chosen precisely because they yield further bibliographical information.

Review: "An astonishingly thorough and eminently useful reference book... I cannot imagine that anyone who has to deal with relations between the churches could do without this work. Jaroslav Pelikan, Yale University; This dictionary is reassuring. It is thoroughly professional and contains major articles of high quality. Church Times; The WCC is to be commended for the vision and commitment to produce this immensely useful reference volume. International Bulletin of Missionary Research
