Description
A generation after the event that came to be known as Vatican II Orbis Books is pleased to join with Peeters of Belgium to make this monumental new work available to scholars worldwide. Already acclaimed as a publishing event in itself, this book provides historians, ecclesiologists, and theologians alike with a thorough exposition of one of the most momentous occasions in 2,000 years of church history. This book is the first critical study of the council which treats it as an historical event. In five extraordinary volumes that explore the preparation and each session, this book places the Council in its context with earlier councils, relating its development and denouement to contemporary church and world concerns. In this volume, the author begins with extraordinary announcement of the newly-elected Pope John XXIII to convene 'a general council for the unviersal church.'
