After Forty Years Vatican Council Ii's Diverse Legacy

After Forty Years deals with the two great Constitutions on the Church (Lumen Gentium and Gaudium et Spes); its epochal Constitution on Divine Revelation, and hence also on Scripture (Dei Verbum); its Declaration on Religious Liberty (Dignitatis Humanae); and its Decree on Ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio). Because of the special interest of a number of the contributors, there is a heavy emphasis on the meaning and significance of the "anthropology" of Gaudium et Spes. This book, however, is no superficial survey of the general ideas and thrust of the Second Vatican Council, as so many books on the subject turn out to be; but it is rather an in-depth look at the meaning an import of several of the Council's most important themes and decisions.Whitehead, Kenneth D. is the author of 'After Forty Years Vatican Council Ii's Diverse Legacy', published 2007 under ISBN 9781587310164 and ISBN 1587310163.
