Omschrijving
This book examines the writings of the Caroline Divines in the context of modern ecumenical dialogue, notably that of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) to ask whether their arguments are still valid, and indeed if whether they can contribute to contemporary ecumenical progress.
"His (Langham's) deep engagement with this vast, often overlooked corpus of writings is a gesture of sincere offering and direct encounter [...] This imaginative book begins with a commendation from Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, who reminds readers that “the search for unity is a task of intense scholarship, but more than that, of imagination, creativity, and holiness.” It ends with the hope that deeper reading by Anglicans in the riches of our tradition in this school will “inspire new generations of theologians as they seek to deepen the real but imperfect communion that exists between Anglicans and Roman Catholics.”"
- Richard J. Mammana, The Living Church
