Description
The Word on Fire Vatican II Collection is a comprehensive collection of the four central documents of the Second Vatican Council, a pivotal event in the history of the Catholic Church. The documents, Dei Verbum, Lumen Gentium, Sacrosanctum Concilium, and Gaudium et Spes, articulate the council's vision and are still widely unread and misunderstood today. This book provides illuminating commentary from the postconciliar popes and Bishop Robert Barron, as well as beautifully carved linocut art, to help readers understand the council's legacy. The collection also includes the opening and closing addresses of the council's popes, a foreword from Bishop Barron, and an afterword from theologian Matthew Levering, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the council's teachings. The book's helpful appendices list key terms and figures, and answer frequently asked questions, providing a useful reference for both scholars and laypeople. By bringing these key documents together in one volume, The Word on Fire Vatican II Collection offers a unique opportunity to explore the council's vision and its ongoing impact on the Catholic Church.
