Evangelicals and Catholics Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millenium (1994)
This is the first agreed statement by a group of Evangelical and Catholic theologians in the U.S. and Canada. This statement covers the broad prospects for cooperation in civil life in the U.S. Catholic participants would be described as conservative. Many of the Evangelical participants faced public criticism due to this statement.

The Gift of Salvation (1997)
The ECT text on justification by faith alone. Resulting from a meeting in the fall of 1996, it was determined that further progress depended upon firm agreement on the meaning of salvation, and especially the doctrine of justification. After much discussion, study, and prayer over the course of a year, a statement was agreed to at a meeting in New York City, October 6-7, 1997. In future conversations they intend to address the outstanding questions noted at the end of this statement.

Your Word is Truth (2002)
"The next question taken up by ECT participants was the relationship between Scripture and tradition. The following statement, 'Your Word Is Truth,' is the product of intense and extended deliberation and was first published this summer [2002] by Eerdmans in a book by the same title. The participants express the hope that those responding with critical evaluations of the statement will consult the scholarly papers prepared for their deliberation and to be found in the book. The ECT project continues and is currently studying Roman Catholic and evangelical Protestant understandings of 'the communion of saints' (communio sanctorum)."

The Communion of Saints (2003)
"In the present statement, we examine more closely the nature of our life together. Our life together is communion in the communio of the life of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

The Call to Holiness (2005)
Our earlier statements "called our attention to the holiness that is proper to God alone but in which human beings are called to participate. Such participation means nothing less than to be drawn into the very life and love of GodFather, Son, and Holy Spirit. Holiness is also participation in the life of the Church, which is the holy people called into being by Gods saving work in Christ. Following up on this theme, we wish now to consider the ways in which our communities and their individual members can and must foster and embody holiness."

That They May Have Life (2006)
"In the present statement we intend, however briefly and inadequately, to make the case for what is commonly called a culture of lifeand to do so in a way that invites public deliberation and engages questions of public policy. Our primary purpose, however, is to explain to our communities why we believe that support for a culture of life is an integral part of Christian faith and therefore a morally unavoidable imperative of Christian discipleship."

Do Whatever He Tells You: The Blessed Virgin Mary in Christian Faith and Life (2009)
"In the present statement we turn our attention to the Virgin Mary as an example of Gods saving grace, the divinely chosen mother of our Lord and a model of discipleship."

In Defense of Religious Freedom (2012)
"The God who gave us life gave us liberty. The God who has called us to faith asks that we defend the possibility that others may make similarly free acts of faith. By reaffirming the fundamental character of religious freedom, we contribute to the defense of freedom and to human flourishing, in our countries and throughout the world."
