Eerdmans has just sent me a copy of a new book in ecclesiology exploring these various ecclesial-ecumenical challenges in the work of one of the most prominent Protestants of our time: Alberto L. García and Susan K. Wood, Critical Issues in Ecclesiology: Essays In Honor of Carl E. Braaten (Eerdmans, 2011), xvi+239pp.
There is not much in this Festschrift about Eastern Christianity per se, though the first essay, by Gabriel Fackre, recounts an anecdote of Braaten's study at Harvard when Georges Florovsky was there and what the latter taught the former. In addition, the final essay by Leopoldo Sánchez, "More Promise than Ambiguity: Pneumatological Christology as a Model for Ecumenical Engagement" discusses the issue of the filioque, especially in the thought of Yves Congar, and its impact on East-West relations.
