Readers will learn about Salvation History and the founding of the Catholic Church, and how she experienced schisms, divisions, and sometimes-fraught relations with other faiths--and how this is not the end of the story. With a detailed and balanced approach, the book lays out principles for dialogue with our brothers and sisters from different faith traditions. Always with an eye to communion and reunification, A Light to the Nations shows how ecumenism and interreligious dialogue can be respectful, illuminating, and fruitful for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shane Owens,Emily Stimpson Chapman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505120667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505120660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tan Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Shane Owens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096943993087,"sku":"9781505120660","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-light-to-the-nations-shane-owens-9781505120660","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
