The Second Vatican Council (‘Vatican II’:1962-65) sought to
bring Church tradition into the present and to provide a renewal
for our time of all that is Catholic. Sixty years later, many of
the insights which were enthusiastically supported at the time have
still not been fully implemented and there are elements within the
Church’s hierarchy today whose preference is to return to the
more rigid and doctrinaire approach to religion which was in
evidence prior to the Council. This becomes apparent by the way in
which official teachings and practices frequently continue to be
presented and is one of the principal reasons to explain the
ongoing level of defections from within the Church and our negative
rating in society at large. The aim of the book is to provide a
brief summary of the contribution of Church Councils over the
centuries in the development of Christian teachings and practices
and the particular contribution of Vatican II in expanding our
understanding of the nature and purpose of the Church. Secondly, it
is an attempt to portray God and the import of the incarnation of
Jesus with the benefit of modern scholarship and using a language
which reflects the currents of modern thought.
