The year 2015 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the close of the
Second Vatican Council. This volume provides an analysis of Vatican
II, the most decisive and far-reaching event in the modern Catholic
Church. Explicating pivotal elements of the Council, its
decision-making process and the deep consequences of its final
decisions, Massimo Faggioli contributes an accessible presentation
of the significance of Vatican II for the church and its life in
the modern world beyond the boundaries of the Roman Catholic
Church. As the Council, since its conclusion, has been subjected to
various interpretations-a matter of not little controversy-the
volume explores the contours of subsequent interpretation and
variations in approach, especially those that have marked the eras
of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Despite these controversies,
however, the Council lives on, the author argues, in theology,
especially the ad intra and ad extra dimensions of reform in the
liturgy, the church and the modern world, and religious freedom,
continuing to have global impact on Catholics and non-Catholics.
