Yves Congar (1904-1995) was one of the chief architects of a
remarkable renewal in Roman Catholic ecclesiology in the twentieth
century. His vision for ecclesial renewal led to a profound
transformation of the Roman Catholic Church, its relationship with
other churches and the world. This book considers the contribution
made by Congar to that transformation. Situating Congar's
ecclesiology in the context of his whole theology, the book
presents for the first time a comprehensive study of two related
aspects of Congar's thought - unbelief and the notion of 'total
ecclesiology'. Dr Flynn shows how unbelief provides the common
inspiration for Congar's thought on the Church and constitutes the
raison d'Atre for his entire programme of ecclesial reform at the
Second Vatican Council. This study demonstrates how Congar's 'total
ecclesiology' contributes to the restoration of unity and helps to
redress unbelief. Congar's vision for the future and his programme
for ecclesial renewal, centering on a church committed both to the
preservation of its heritage and an openness to true reform, is
shown to be still pertinent to the churches in the third
millennium, a point accented by Pierre-Marie Gy, OP in his Preface
to the work.
