Book Description This fourth volume of the acclaimed series reconstructs the work of the Council during the third session, which was to produce two of the most significant texts of Vatican II: the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, and the Decree on Ecumenism.
"Allows the reader to get inside the many faces of the Council . . . a demanding read though one's patience and attention are richly rewarded."--St Anthony Messenger Press
As with the previous volumes in this series an international team of scholars tracks the daily progress of the assembly and its numerous assisting bodies. Using sources from all these groups, as well as an unprecedented acquisition of previously unpublished materials, they provide readers with a rich, multidimensional look at the event that more than any other shaped the Roman Catholic Church in the 20th century.
Giuseppe Alberigo is director of the Institute for Religious Studies, Bologna, Italy. Joseph A. Komonchak, is John C. and Gertrude P. Hubbard Chair in Religious Studies, The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC.
