"This is a book which is of considerable ecumenical significance and importance since here, for the first time, is a voice from within the tradition of the Church of the East setting out, in an admirably clear and well-informed way, the Church of the East's own self-understanding of its apostolicity and theology."

"The Book of Bishop Mar Bawai Soro, one of the leading figures and architects in the ecumenical dialogues of the Assyrian Church of the East with other Churches for more than 20 years, is dealing with two fundamental aspects of ecclesiology: the apostolicity and the orthodoxy of the Church of the East. Some of his views have already been presented at conferences of the dialogues and discussed by eminent scholars."
