Book Description
Ecumenism is generally done by theologians, but as Charles Morerod, OP makes clear in this groundbreaking book the divisions between Christians often have at their roots different philosophical pre-understandings. Furthermore, ecumenical dialogue itself is often conceived along lines similar to the progress one might hope to make in reconciling divergent scientific paradigms. Morerod sheds much needed light on the ecumenical issues and approaches that offer a path toward Christian unity.

Book Description
Ecumenism: A Guide for the Perplexed is a comprehensive introduction to the methods, achievements, and future prospects of the modern ecumenical movement. The authors begin the volume by charting out a serviceable definition of ecumenism, a term that has long been a source of confusion for students of theology and church history. They review the chronology of the modern ecumenical movement and highlight the major events, figures, accomplishments, and impasses. This historical survey is followed by critical examinations of three significant challenges for contemporary ecumenical theology and practice. Along the way, the authors provide commentary upon the difficulties and prospects that the ecumenical movement might anticipate as it enters this new millennium.

Book Description
Ecumenism has obscured the truth of the bible and the church. Ecumenism is against the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and his gospel. Ecumenicals are against the Christian mission and evangelism. Visible organizational unity of the church and also the unity of all other religions are their major objectives. Hence the unification of the religious groups is falsely considered as the mission of the Church. The contemporary false ecumenism is the embodiment of the degeneration of the concept of unity in spirit to organizational unity. It is the solution of man, not of God. It is the master stroke of devil which plunged the Church deep into unbelief. Emphasis is shifted from the Biblical mission of evangelism to efforts toward mobilizing a visible Church organization. All energy is spent on the organizational affairs of the Church. Evangelism was replaced by Church management. The modern ecumenical liberal theology is influenced by the philosophies of the world. Here preference is given to the views of men not of god. Ecumenism takes the unfortunate and cowardly stand that since other views do not accept us, we must change and adopt some of their beliefs, conglomerate or syncretize, so that we can move toward a peaceful coexistence. This means the ecumenical want the Christians to surrender our convictions to those who have a different set of beliefs. Their marathon dialogues with other faiths ultimately end up in compromising or even denying the uniqueness of Christ and declaring moratorium on the proclamation of gospel. Modern ecumenical theology is pluralistic, relativistic, subjectivistic, inclusivistic and universalistic for destroying the objective and exclusive claims of Jesus Christ. New age is in the Church under the garb of modern liberal theology. Liberal theology facilitates the infiltration of the new age movement and pantheistic mysticism into the church through environmentalism. Environmental protection including love and concern for animals are major issues on the agenda of the ecumenicals. Modern liberal theology is the product of the new age philosophy. It has deviously misdirected the mission of the church into social work, environmental protection, and ecumenism. There is relationship between contemporary ecumenical movement, one world religion, antichrist and the ideology of liberal theology. Ecumenism is the program for the unity of world religions for the rule of false prophet and antichrist. Ecumenicals are the agents of antichrist for forming the world religion by fusing Christianity with other religions. The world religious system will try its level best, through all subtle ways and means, to eliminate the pure gospel from the face of the earth. True unity cannot be accomplished by pretending that there are no differences, but only by recognizing and respecting those differences, while focusing on the great truths of Christian faith. Here in this book, one of the biggest attacks on the Christian truth is exposed.

Book Description
A Chinese philosopher in the Fourth Century BCE was known for his claim that 'a chicken has three legs'. He was not hallucinating nor are Chinese chickens different from the chickens of other nations. What the philosopher understood was that this 'third leg' was the mental leg or concept of 'chicken leg' which tells an observer that what he or she is seeing is a 'two-legged chicken'. This 'idea leg' is in the mind of the beholder, and it is a paradoxical synthesis of perception and conception, of seeing and not seeing, of the possible and the impossible...Each story in "The Ecumenical Cruise and Other Three-Legged Chicken Philosophy Tales" is a three-legged chicken tale which starts with statements found in philosophical and religious traditions from around the world, and then examines a 'mind egg' that such a chicken might conceivably lay. All similarities to poultry living or dead are coincidental.

Book Description
Humanity's long history of intermittent conflicts and contemporary violence undermines Christian's (and their Jewish and Muslim fellow believers) religious confidence in and moral commitment to world peace. The principal issue is the ambiguity of God's presence and action in the world as we experience it. In A Contemporary Theology for Ecumenical Peace, this problem is addressed by relating biblical theology to contemporary philosophical and theological perspectives to motivate and sustain the practice of love and justice in the context of civil religion.

Book Description
Ecclesial Recognition proffers a framework for churches to accept the legitimacy and authenticity of each other as the Church in the dialogical process towards fuller communion. Typically, ‘recognition’ and its reception investigate theologically the sufficiency of creeds as ecumenical statements of unity, the agreeability of essential sacramentality of the church, and the recognition of its ministries as the churches’ witness of the gospel. This monograph conceives ecclesial recognition as an intersubjective dynamics of inclusion and exclusion amid identity formation and consensus development, with insights from Hegelian philosophy, group social psychology, and the Frankfurt School Axel Honneth’s political theory. The viability of this interdisciplinary approach is demonstrated from the French Dominican Yves Congar’s oeuvre, with implications for intra-Communion and inter-Church relations. "Dr Lim examines philosophical recognition theory, group social psychology and political recognition theory to analyse the non-theological impasses confronting the whole ecumenical movement." - Rev Dr Trevor Hoggard, Director English-speaking Ministries, Methodist Church of New Zealand. "Lim masterfully argues for the viability of an interdisciplinary approach to ecumenical recognition within communities, among churches, and in their common pastoral mission.” - Fr. and Professor Radu Bordeianu, Duquesne University, and Orthodox theologian, Representative of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Pittsburgh, and Assistant Priest of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Pittsburgh. “This book makes an important contribution to ecumenical ecclesiology.” - Rev. Dr and Professor Sandra Beardsall, St Andrew’s College, Canada and United Church of Canada Ordained Minister. “I find Dr. Lim's work a solid and necessary contribution to ecumenical work around the world.” - Rev. Dr. and Professor Dominick D. Hanckle, Regent University, and priest of the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches. “With penetrating analysis and creative suggestions, this monograph takes the talk about ecumenical recognition in a new level.” - Professor Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, University of Helsinki.
