Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The monograph is the author's master’s thesis defended at the KU Leuven’s Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies in 2016. The monograph is an important piece of research to the field of ecumenism in the second half of the past century, with particular focus on the work of a Romanian Orthodox theologian who acted as a staff member of the World Council of Churches and served the cause of Christian unity. The relevance of the monograph is twofold. Firstly, it fills an important gap in the literature on contemporary ecumenism by focusing on a largely and unfairly neglected Orthodox protagonist in the movement for Christian reconciliation. Therefore, this monograph, which draws on previously unknown material from the archives of the World Council of Churches in Geneva, constitutes a valuable resource for theologians, researchers, and students interested in the contribution of Ion Bria to rapprochement between Christian churches. Secondly, Bria’s theology, which is the central topic of this monograph, is an important source of inspiration for the revitalization of the culture of dialogue in our churches and societies, which have lately been confronted with the phenomenon of polarization on religious and non-religious issues. What Christian churches need today are voices from within to rekindle and strengthen their dialogical spirit and willingness to listen and learn from one another.
