Description
One of the most important events in Church history, the Second Vatican Council was a time of revolutionary change, hope, disappointment and controversy. Passionate debate greeted each new teaching of the Council: that the Church is not a clerical institution, but the whole people of God; that it must work for justice and peace, not just dispense the sacraments; and that the liturgy must be more accessible to all people.
Avoiding nostalgia, the authors offer bold, provocative reflections on globalization, ministry, sexuality, prayer and worship, science and religion, Church structure, interfaith dialogue and more. They challenge Catholics to carry the promise of Vatican II into the 21st century. Study questions and a glossary make Even Greater Things an ideal resource for adult education.
