If It Be Of God: The Story Of The World Council Of Churches is a book written by Paul Griswold Macy that provides a detailed account of the formation and development of the World Council of Churches (WCC). The WCC is a global ecumenical organization that was established in 1948 with the aim of promoting Christian unity and cooperation among various Protestant, Orthodox, and Anglican denominations.The book traces the history of the WCC from its inception to the present day, highlighting its achievements, challenges, and controversies. Macy provides a thorough analysis of the WCC's theological and political perspectives, as well as its role in promoting social justice and human rights.The author also examines the WCC's relationship with other religious organizations, including the Roman Catholic Church, and its involvement in various international conflicts and crises, such as the Cold War, apartheid in South Africa, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Through interviews with key figures and extensive research, Macy offers a comprehensive and engaging account of the WCC's impact on the global Christian community and its efforts to promote peace, justice, and reconciliation in a divided world. Overall, If It Be Of God is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the WCC and the ecumenical movement more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
