| Summary, etc. |
"This book is a rich source of information and reflections on many aspects of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the most significant religious event of the last century. Contributions from some of the finest scholars of the council from round the world introduce readers to the historical context and outstanding features of this conciliar event and to its principal teachings on revelation, the church, liturgy, religious liberty, ecumenism, interreligious dialogue, church-world relations, and mission. Authors consider some of the neglected aspects of the council, including the forgotten papal speeches that lay out its fundamental orientation and ought to guide its interpretation, the presence and contributions of women, resistance to the council among traditionalists, the council's influence on church governance, and on the practice of theology, and canon law. Ecumenical scholars reflect on the significance of Vatican II for the life of other Christian churches and the search for unity and reconciliation. Surveying the diverse receptions of the council in the perspective of a world church, chapters focusing on Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Europe, and Oceania reflect on the interpretation and influence of the council and its teaching on the life of the church in diverse cultural contexts. This work is a valuable guide to one of the most important religious events in recent times, to the interpretation of the council's teaching, and to its continuing role as a sure compass for the life of the church in the 21st century"-- |
