Back cover :"The United Church of Canada has a rich and complex history of theological
development. This volume, written for the general reader as well as students and scholars,
provides a comprehensive overview of that development, together with an analysis of
this unique denomination's core statements of faith and its contemporary theological
landscape. When the Methodist, Congregational, and Local Union Churches in Canada,
as well as most of the Presbyterians, came together as The United Church of Canada,
the theological commonalities between them were significant. Over the succeeding decades,
this made-in-Canada denomination has continued to define its convictions through consensus-building
and large-scale studies. This volume, written by leading scholars, outlines key faith
perspectives in areas such as creation, the Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit,
the Bible, sin, mission, and sacraments. No book like this has appeared in over seventy
years, and readers will find insight here that is unparalleled in its scope. In creative
tension with each individual member's freedom of conscience, the United Church as
a whole has continued to express its commonly held faith in dialogue, continuity,
and critical interaction with the faith of the worldwide, historic Christian community."
