While the Reformed Church in America has resisted the idea of "church mergers" it has nevertheless been active throughout history in working toward church unity. This volume chronicles this effort by outlining historical and theological perspectives on the RCA's ecumenical hope, exploring areas of present ecumenical encounter, and discussing the future of Reformed ecumenism.

In the section of Communicatio Idiomatum, it is carefully pointed out, “strictly speaking,” that / 在属性相通的段落中,它小心的指出,“严格的说”

The distinct properties of the one nature are not transferred to the other nature … What can be said is that through the perichoresis or interpenetration of the two natures in the unity of Christ’s person the human nature is restored, sustained and glorified as the new and perfect humanity of the last Adam, recapitulating the history of the first Adam. In the orthodox tradition this is called theosis (commonly rendered as “deification”), but this does not imply that Christ’s humanity ceases to be creaturely or becomes divine in essence. Reformed Theology shares this understanding, but avoids the language of theosis. It treats the theme more in terms of the sanctification of human nature in Christ. In both traditions this renewal of our common humanity in the person of the incarnate Word is affirmed and venerated as the decisive saving action of divine grace and the pledge of the renewal and restoration of all who are united to Christ as members of the body of which He is the Head. /一个本性中的独特属性不会被转送到另一个本性。我们能够说的事,借由杂基督位格中联合唯一的两性的互相渗透,人性作为末后亚当的那个崭新和完整的人性而被重建,维持并被荣化,这就摘录了第一个亚当的历史。在正统中,这就叫做“神化”(Theosis,一般也称为“圣化”),但是这不代表基督的人性不再存在或在本性上成为神圣的。改革宗神学也分享了这样的认识,但是避免使用“神化/Theosis”的用词。她将这个主题当作人性在基督里的成圣。在这两个传统中,我们共有的人性在这个成为肉身的道的位格中被更新被,乃是由那些与基督联合并成为那个他(基督)作头的身体的肢体的信徒的被更新和重新恢复的神圣恩典决定性的救赎和保证,而被被确认和敬拜。
