Media Reviews
This book should be required reading. -- Revd Dr Keith Clements, Baptist Times, January 2010.
Ecumenical experts now have their own Catechism in this book by Cardinal Walter Kasper. It is a summary of progress so far of the four ecumenical dialogues into which the Catholic Church has entered: with the Methodists and Lutherans, (both since 1967) and the Anglicans and the Reformed Church (both since 1970). * One In Christ, Volume 43, No. 2, December 2009 *
La Récolte est bonne, mais tous ne sont pas prêts à savourer ces bon fruits. Espérons la publication rapide d'une traduction française de ce livre. * Unité de Chrétiens, Janvier 2010. *
mentioned in The Tablet 13 February, 2010.

Review and description of book in Theology, 1st July 2010
A timely and helpful book. * Expository Times, August 2010 *
Well structured and interesting; the reader is treated to a whistle-stop historic overview of preaching practice through the ages. * Church of Ireland Gazette, 23rd July 2010 *
Offers a valuable and accurate portrayal of the major work prepared by the first generation of ecumenists, a work that has borne truly immense fruit. In many ways, Harvesting the Fruits reads as a kind of legacy project, the swan song of an illustrious theologian and ecumenist (representing an illustrious generation of ecumenists), and perhaps a parting gift to a Church that has not always shown sufficient appreciation for its high-calibre ecumenical leadership (to say nothing of its partners). * The Ecumenist *
This is an invaluable resource, particularly for seminarians and others concerned with the wider vision of God for his people. The story it tells of growing mutual understanding, appreciation and affection is one that all Church leaders, lay and ordained, should embrace and make their own in whatever circumstances they serve. * The Living Church *
