In "Reconciling Theology", leading thinker on Anglicanism and ecumenism Paul Avis focuses on the perennial Christian issues of argument, debate, polemic and conflict, on the one hand, and dialogue, search for common ground, working for agreement and harmony, on the other.Exploring the tension and interaction between them in a range of contexts in modern theology and the Church, Avis offers a rigorous but accessible vision of church which moves beyond the usual dichotomy of liberal or orthodox.

“This important book is both personal and profound. Personal because it draws on decades of engagement in the ecumenical vocation of the church. Profound because it penetrates to the heart of the theological task – to provide faithful witness to the reconciling God who has called a people to be one in Christ, to serve God’s reconciling purposes in the world. There is passion in these pages to stir the heart, awaken the spirit and move the will to press, with urgency, for there conciliation of the churches.”
