Seller's Description:
New. The essays presented in this book, several of which were delivered at ecumenical gatherings, represent Orthodox ecclesiological thinking at its best. The issues that divide the Orthodox from Catholic and Protestant Christians come down to two: What is tradition? (how do we get to the truth? ) and What is catholicity? (where does the fullness of truth reside? ). Meyendorff articulates Orthodox teaching clearly, treading the narrow path between triumphalist fanaticism (listeners to which know pride and bigotry when they hear it and remain listeners not for long) and sentimental accommodationism, which longs for reunion based on fellow-feeling rather than the hard road of faithfulness to truth. Meyendorff is also exemplary in that he fairly represents opposing positions, not second-guessing motives. He has done something fundamental, something quite wonderful and powerful in attempting to resolve a controversy: He has really listened. He has really understood.

Seller's Description:
Fine. 0881410063. 0.5 x 8.3 x 5.3 Inches; "Catholicity"-the whole truth, the fulness of life and the universality of salvation in Christ within the Church is the author's point of reference as he discusses the nature of the Church in its inner life, in its ecumenical relationships and in its relations with the world at large. By placing the words catholicity and Church side by side, Fr Meyendorff focuses attention on the problems created by their opposition to each other while affirming that, There is no way in which one can claim to be a Christian except through concrete membership in the Catholic Church and through a continuous effort at manifesting in the Catholic Church and through a continuous effort at manifesting the catholicity of the Church. From this perspective, Meyendorff deals with creation and revelation, the nature and role of Christian history and tradition, ecumenical issues as seen against Protestant and Roman tendencies, and Orthodox ecclesiology and mission. Each subject is treated concretely as the author relates the catholic tradition to issues, practices and thought patterns of our contemporary age. This excellent volume is an important contribution to Christian witness and dialogue in an ecumenical context. Fr John Meyendorff was Professor of Church History and Patristics at St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, and professor of History at Fordham University, NY.
