For Catholics seeking to understand Vatican II's teachings

Clarifies misconceptions about the Council's impact

You will gain a deeper appreciation of Church tradition

Explore the profound insights of Vatican II in this enlightening book.

In Vatican II: Renewal within Tradition, an international team of theologians challenges the standard view of the Council as causing a rupture with earlier Catholic teaching. Examining each document issued, they argue the The Council was indeed putting forth a vision for the future of the Church, but that vision was grounded in two millennia of tradition. Taken together, these essays demonstrate that Vatican II's documents are a development from an established antecedent in the Roman Catholic Church.

Each chapter contextualizes Vatican II teachings within that rich tradition.
