The Oxford Handbook of Vatican II is a rich source of information
and reflections on many aspects of the Second Vatican Council
(1962-1965), one of the most significant religious events of the
twentieth century. The chapters introduce readers to the historical
context and outstanding features of the conciliar event, and its
principal teachings on Scripture and Tradition, the church,
liturgy, religious liberty, ecumenism, interreligious dialogue,
church-world relations, and mission. Consideration is given to some
neglected aspects of the council, including: the forgotten papal
speeches that lay out its fundamental orientation and ought to
guide its interpretation; the presence and contributions of women;
and the non-reception of the council among Catholic
traditionalists. Ecumenical scholars reflect on the significance of
Vatican II for the life of other Christian churches and the search
for Christian unity; others examine Catholic dialogue with other
religious traditions. Surveying the diverse receptions of the
council in the perspective of a world church, chapters focusing on
Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Oceania, and Europe
reflect on the interpretation and influence of the council and its
teaching on the life of the church in diverse cultural contexts.
This Handbook will serve as a valuable guide to one of the most
important events and bodies of Catholic teaching since the
Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent in the sixteenth
century, to the interpretation of the council's teaching, and to
its continuing role in guiding the life of the church in the
twenty-first century. .
