The Second Vatican Council declared the restoration of unity among
Christians to be one of its principal concerns. Division among the
Churches scandalises the world and damages that most holy cause, the
preaching of The Gospel to every creature. A key figure to have worked
tirelessly at these aims is Cardinal Walter Kasper, one of the most
experienced, authoritative, and respected members of the Vatican
hierarchy. Here Cardinal Kasper summarises the results of the
Catholic Church's official dialogues with Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican
and Methodist Churches over forty years, sets out a blueprint for
'consensus and convergence', and sets out a map for the way forward
for ecumenism. From such a source, this document is therefore of
crucial importance. The book focuses on the major issues in ecumenical
dialogue - Jesus Christ, The Holy Trinity, Justification, The Church
and The Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist. Cardinal Kasper explains
the key issues at stake and offers signposts for the way forward so
that the wish of Jesus may be fulfilled: That They May All Be One.
