" An indispensable source book, "Bettenson, Documents " has
won for itself a world-wide reputation since its first publication
in 1943. It is also fascinating reading, containing " the hard facts
of many disputed questions, the ammunition for controversy, the
corrective to loose thinking and idle speech." The second edition
has been enlarged to include Christian history through the beginning
of the Ecumenical Movement.

The book now spans the period of the Fathers, the Church in the Roman
Empire, the Creeds, Scholasticism, the Reformation, the Churches
in Great Britain, and Roman Catholic pronouncements up to the eve
of the Second Vatican Council. Documents are also included on the
Church of South India and the meetings of the Council of Churches
in 1947 and 1961. "
