Publisher Description: Jonas Jonson, who was directly involved with the ecumenical movement for forty years, offers in this book an inside perspective on an ever-changing global Christianity. Reviewing developments in ecumenism from the 1960s to the present, Jonson discusses the decolonization of mission, interreligious relations, -God's preferential option for the poor, - and unity in diversity. He also maps the global ecumenical landscape and presents the -Fourth Church- -- comprising charismatic, Pentecostal, and evangelical movements of the twentieth century. |
