This review discusses Myk Habets' edited volume, "Ecumenical Perspectives on the Filioque for the 21st Century," which explores various Christian traditions' views on the filioque doctrine and its implications for contemporary theological discourse. The chapters provide diverse perspectives from Orthodox, Reformed, Free Church, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic theologians, proposing ecumenical pathways to address the longstanding controversy surrounding the Spirit's eternal procession. Despite a lack of deep analysis of recent agreed statements regarding the filioque, the volume is commended for its contributions to understanding this complex and significant theological issue.
