Description
Vatican Council II was the most significant religious event of the 20th century, with far-reaching repercussions beyond the Catholic Church. This book provides a readable account of the council from its announcement in 1959 to its conclusion in 1965, based on official documentation. The narrative captures the drama of the council, highlighting the colorful characters involved and their clashes, while also offering new interpretive categories for understanding the council's dynamics. As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of the council's calling, this work reveals the spirit of Vatican II in a fresh light. A reliable introduction to the council, this book is a critical resource for understanding the Catholic Church today, including the pontificate of Benedict XVI.
