Abstract

Pierre W. Whalon's book, "Choose the Narrow Path: The Way for Churches to Walk Together," argues for a common statement of faith among different Christian communions, which he refers to as the "Narrow Path." Whalon suggests that this shared belief should lead to visible unity and exceptional intercommunion, particularly in the practice of the eucharist. The book is divided into two sections, with the first providing ecumenical resources and examples of agreement among communions, while the second presents Whalon's personal theology. While the book's delivery could benefit from more clarity and the concept of the Narrow Path could be further developed, Whalon's argument is compelling and offers a model for dialogue among Christians.
