The second Vatican Council, which concluded in December 1965,
inaugurated a reformation process in the Catholic Church that
continues to this day. Grounding his discussion in the documents
that came out of Vatican II, Robert Burns addresses four critical
questions that face the Church largely as an outcome of this first
truly global Church council.
First, Burns presents an overview of the evolving Roman Catholic
understanding of Jesus Christ. He follows with an analysis of
authority within the Church, a matter of some contention in today's
democratic societies, and a discussion of Catholicism as a global
church incorporating people and practices from many cultures.
Finally, Burns examines the validity of other religions in relation
to the Christian claim that salvation through Jesus is unique and
final.
A readable introduction for all Catholics interested in learning
more about their church, the book includes features such as chapter
summaries and study questions that also make it an ideal textbook
for undergraduates or parish study.
