Overview

“Vatican II at 60 will rekindle the fire in our hearts for the reforms and renewal of the Church that was catalyzed by that miraculous Councilas its legacy continues to unfold. This wonderful collection of essays by distinguished leaders with prophetic voices will do exactly what the text promises—Re-energize the Renewal.”—Thomas Groome, Boston College, School of Theology and Ministry

“This is a very important book because it is one of the rare attemptsextremely necessary nowto go beyond the phase of ‘memorialization’ of Vatican II and to take a hard, honest look at the role of the council for the renewal of the Church today.” —Massimo Faggioli, Villanova University

Marking the 60th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) here are original essays by leading Catholic theological scholars. They address the historic and current significance of the Council, key documents and themes, and the Council’s ongoing challenge for renewal in the Catholic Church of the twenty-first century.
