YOU ARE PETER

An Orthodox Theologian' Reflection on the Exercise of Papal Primacy
Author: Olivier Clement, forward by Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J.

In his encyclical, Ut unum sint, John Paul II called for common reflection on the function of papal primacy in the post-Vatican II era. With You Are Peter the great Orthodox theologian Olivier Clément responds to this request with characteristic brilliance. He summarizes the history and experience of the undivided Church, recalls the contrasting developments of Eastern and Western Christianity, and concludes with discussion of the tasks that call us to unity.
