THE GREAT RECONCILIATION: Restoring the Unity Christ Prayed For, Beyond Creeds and Campuses

Restoring the Unity Christ Prayed For, Beyond Creeds and Campuses

In a fragmented ecclesial landscape marked by denominational boundaries, doctrinal hostilities, cultural divides, and institutional pride, The Great Reconciliation issues a prophetic and pastoral call: to return to the prayer of Christ—that His Church “may be one” (John 17:21). Drawing from biblical theology, historical ecclesiology, and contemporary ecumenical reflection, Bishop Jermaine V. Moore Sr. offers a sweeping vision for unity that is both theologically grounded and practically urgent.

Far from advocating for theological minimalism or superficial unity, this work calls for a deep reconciliation rooted in the Triune nature of God, the reconciling work of Christ on the cross, and the Spirit’s ongoing work in sanctifying the Church. Moore challenges denominational tribalism, confronts inherited divisions, and casts a compelling vision of the Church as one Body, made up of many members, bound together by covenant and commission.

With a voice that is at once scholarly and pastoral, Moore writes as a bishop, theologian, and bridge-builder, offering not only diagnosis but also direction—a path forward for those who dare to believe that reconciliation is not merely possible, but essential for the credibility of our Christian witness.

“This book is not merely a plea for ecumenism; it is a theological summons to embody the unity the gospel proclaims.” +JVM SR
