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.
Paul Avis is Honorary Professor in the Department of
Theology and Religion, Durham University, UK, and also Honorary Research
