“No one can read the New Testament with any care and attention without being struck by the prominence given therein to faith or belief. Our Lord’s ministry began with the call to ‘ repent and believe the Gospel.’ Faith was the demand which He habitually made from those who sought His help; and as the reward of faith His mighty works were wrought.” –From Chapter I—Of Creeds in General: The Grounds on which the Requirement of Faith is Made
The Ecumenical Movement by Thomas E. FitzGerald Pdf
What is Ecumenism? How and when did it start? What are its goals and how will they affect the future of the Christian churches? This book answers these questions and examines the remarkable story of new encounters between Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Old Catholic, and most Protestant churches. Most of these churches have been divided for centuries over issues of theology, faith, and practice. Ecumenism seeks to reconcile these differences and to bring the churches together into a new unity based on their commonalities and their understanding of Christian faith. Here, FitzGerald traces the history of the churches and their divisions and focuses on the ways in which the Ecumenical movement began and the efforts that have been made to assist the churches in overcoming age-old strife, animosity, and misunderstanding. For centuries, Christian churches have remained divided over their doctrinal differences, but beginning in the late nineteenth century, churches and their members slowly began to emerge from their isolation. They began to abandon competition, mistrust, and misunderstanding in an effort to seek out their common interests and faith through meetings and organizations meant to bring them together. The encounters between the churches led to proposals for common prayers for unity, and for common witness in society. While not without difficulty, these encounters have fostered a renewal in Christian theology, worship, and witness, affecting all levels of church life. The process has touched Christians all over the world in various ways. FitzGerald carefully traces the history of the movement and its impact on the churches themselves, as well as the believers who attend them, making this important reading for all Christians and anyone interested in learning more about church division and efforts to restore unity.

The Three Creeds (Classic Reprint) by Edgar C. S. Gibson Pdf
Excerpt from The Three Creeds The object of the Oxford Library of Practical Theology is to supply some carefully considered teaching on matters of Religion to that large body of devout laymen, who desire instruction, but are not attracted by the learned treatises which appeal to the theologian. One Of the needs of the time would seem to be, to translate the solid theological learning, of which there is no lack, into the ver nacular of everyday practical religion; and while steering a course between' what is called plain teaching on the one hand and erudition on the other, to supply some sound and readable instruc tion to those who require it, on the subjects in cluded under the common title The Christian Religion, ' that they may be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh them a reason of the hope that is in them, with meekness and fear.
