Nigel Zimmermann was a Wingate Scholar (2011-13) and has taught theology in the University of Notre Dame Australia, and is currently with the Institute of Ethics and Society at Notre Dame, Australia.

Ecumenical Councils have typically begun in controversy, have been conducted in further controversy, and have always been followed by yet more controversy. Little wonder, then that there have been only twenty-one of them, by Catholic reckoning, in over two millennia of Christian history. The Great Grace is an important contribution from Down Under to the ongoing interpretation, reception, and implementation of the Second Vatican Council. All those committed to the real Vatican II, as distinguished from the Rorschach Blot Vatican II, are in debt to this book's distinguished authors for their insights and for their passion for authentic Catholic renewal.
