This history of councils and decision-making in the Christian church draws extensively upon conciliarism scholarship from the last fifty years. Valliere brings a broad ecumenical perspective to bear and shows how the conciliar tradition of the Christian past can serve as a resource for resolving conflicts in the church today.

Críticas:
'... fascinating ...' Church Times
'Valliere has written a wise and distinguished book that deserves to be pondered by all concerned for the unity and integrity of the Church and of Anglicanism in particular. It is marked by a clear and robust style, elegantly and often epigrammatically phrased.' Journal of Anglican Studies
'I cannot think of a more valuable book in recent scholarship that combines theology and history with practical advice for church unity.' Reviews in Religion and Theology
'Paul Valliere's impressive and engaging Conciliarism: A History of Decision-Making in the Church ... should be read and seriously considered by anyone concerned with the problem of authority within Anglicanism.' The Living Church
'How to create legitimacy at the universal level for a group of distinct autonomous churches will be a question high on the agenda of the next archbishop of Canterbury. The suggestions offered in this fascinating and often tantalizing book might feasibly offer him a degree of hope for the future.' Sewanee Theological Review
