Cardinal Yves Congar is universally known and respected as the
great ecclesiologist of Vatican II whose seminal ideas helped to
reconfigure the landscape of Catholic theology following the
council. Less well known is his role in contributing far-reaching
insights to the emerging liturgical movement in the church. This
collection represents several of Congar's decisive contributions.
Reading them makes possible a deeper and more cogent reception of
the key ideas of the council documents. These texts are at once
both erudite and exciting, both essential and pastorally incisive.
There has never been a better time to disseminate these critically
important liturgical insights than the present moment.
"Cardinal Yves Congar, OP, who died in 1995, was a French
Dominican widely recognized as one of the most important Roman
Catholic theologians of the twentieth century and a major influence
upon the theology of the documents of Vatican II. Congar drew from
biblical, patristic, and medieval sources to revitalize the
discipline of contemporary theology. He was an early advocate of
ecumenism and also contributed to shaping the theological agenda of
the twentieth-century liturgical movement."
"Pal Philibert, OP, is a retired professor of pastoral theology
who has taught in the United States and abroad. He is a Dominican
friar of the US Southern Province. His 2005 Liturgical Press book,
"The Priesthood of the Faithful: Key to a living Church, " reflects
the theology of these essays of Cardinal Yves Congar. His
translation of Congar's masterpiece, "True and False Reform in the
Church, "will soon be published by Liturgical Press."
