In recent bilateral ecumenical dialogue the aim of the dialogue has been to reach some form of doctrinal consensus. The three major chapters of the book discuss the variety of forms of doctrinal consensus found in ecumenical dialogues among Anglicans, Lutherans and Roman Catholics. In general, the dialogue documents argue for agreement/consensus based on commonality or compatibility. Each of the three dialogue processes has specific characteristics and formulates its argument in a unique way. The Lutheran-Roman Catholic dialogue has a particular interest in hermeneutical questions and proposes various forms of "differentiated" or perspectival forms of consensus. The Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue emphasises the correctness of interpretations. The documents consciously look towards a "common future", not the separated past.

‘Minna Hietamäki provides a solid analysis of the ecumenical dialogues between Anglicans, Catholics and Lutherans, connecting it with the ongoing critical discussion on the value of the so-called "consensus ecumenism". While most ecumenical theologians are strong either in theological theory or ecclesial practice, Hietamäki masters both fields. She defends consensus ecumenism but considers that the arguments of its critics should be taken very seriously. Her work deserves, therefore, to be read by all parties involved in current ecumenism and systematic theology.' - Risto Saarinen, University of Helsinki, Finland
