It is taken for granted today among theologians that the principal
achievement of the Second Vatican Council was its Dogmatic
Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium. It is beginning to be
equally taken for granted that the core of this central document is
its vision of Church as communion. "Communion," Pope John Paul II
has said, "is the very mystery of the Church." Church: A Spirited
Communion grows out of the ecclesiology of the Council as a
systematic treatment of this notion of communion. Church: A
Spirited Communion is not, however, a book only about the Church.
It is a book about the God whom Christians confess as Triune, who
calls the Church into existence and who seeks its commitment in
every age. It is a book about the Church only to the extent that
the Church is in communion with this God. To the extent that it is
a book which is primarily theo-logical and only secondarily
ecclesio-logical, it is a book which adheres to God rather than to
men and summons the Church to do the same.
