This is the first book-length analysis of the term unity as used within recent ecumenical discussion. It seeks to present in a clear and useful way the many conceptions of unity found in discussion, whose subtle diversity and number are often a source of confusion and ambiguity. It is intended primarily for ecumenical participants and students; but the methodology is of wider interest because it employs taxonomy (of a kind usually found within biological sciences) to analyse and present conceptual diversity.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Philosophical analusis is not about 'making friends' and unfortunately, it rarely influences people."
Edition Notes
Mainly aimed at those working academically within ecumenism- or those involved in ecumenical discussions- conclusion strongly advises against any attempt to 'clarify' language such as 'koinonia' by adding greater detail, because this is to understand how the word has been used and why it has been is so valauble.
