  8. Annotated Bibliography Rouse, Ruth, and Stephen C. Neill, eds. A History of the Ecumenical Movement. Vol. 1, 1517-1948. 2nd ed. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1967. This is an authoritative survey of the Ecumenical Movement, covering the period from the Reformation to 1948. It contains essays by main scholars in the field. This volume includes an extensive bibliography, an analytical subject index, and an author index. While this reference is very relevant to the thesis statement, volume 2, which covers the period 1948-1968 (edited by Harold E. Fey; also published by Westminster Press, in 1970), will add even more to the paper. Thus, the two volumes taken together will be highly relevant to the thesis statement. Specifically, the historical information in these two volumes will be included in the background section of the paper.
