The Second Vatican Council (1963-65) changed the face of modern Catholicism in bringing it into a positive relationship with modern culture.

The reader is introduced to the content of Vatican II documents, debates around their interpretation and the manner of their implementation. The essays are written by the leading figures in the Catholic Church and allow the reader to see the Council's impact upon modern Catholicism and engagement with the modern world.

Through references to historical data and key theological positions the volume establishes the relationship between the documents of the council and the long history of Catholic theological tradition in which the council is embedded. … This volume’s inclusion of diverse voices makes it a good choice for undergraduate, graduate, and general readers who wish to read samples of varied positions.
