Freedom, Truth, and Human Dignity - The Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Religious Freedom (Paperback)

Pope Paul VI characterised the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Religious Freedom - Dignitatis Humanae - as one of the greatest documents of Vatican II. It is also perhaps the most intensely debated document of the Council; both the drafting of the Declaration of Religious Freedom and its reception within the Church have been marked by deep disagreements about what this teaching means for the Church. In this book David Schindler and Nicholas Healy promote a deeper understanding of this important document. In addition to presenting a new translation of the approved text of the Declaration, Freedom Truth and Human Dignity makes available for the first time in English the five drafts of the document that were presented to the Council bishops leading up to the final version. The book also includes an original interpretative essay on Dignitatis Humanae by Schindler and an essay on the genesis and redaction history of the text by Healy.
