Tracey Rowland-- John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family, Melbourne, Australia Dignitatis Humanae is one of the most theologically complex documents of the Second Vatican Council. Schindler and Healy place its teaching on religious freedom within the context of the rich theological anthropology to be found in the magisterial documents of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI. . . . This work will be of immense value to theologians and lawyers and all concerned about religious freedom. Patrick J. Deneen-- University of Notre Dame In addition to a superb new annotated translation, the commentaries on Dignitatis Humanae by Schindler and Healy will allow many of its readers for the first time to understand the fullest intention of the Church's modern teaching on religious liberty. Jaroslaw Kupczak OP-- The Pontifical University of John Paul II, Krakow, Poland Why does Western liberal culture invariably weaken religious attitudes and so easily turn to anti-Christian secularism? Schindler and Healy raise the discussion on this urgent question to a totally new level in this book. They masterfully point out that only by linking freedom with truth can the Church provide an authentic Christian answer to the modern and postmodern disease of relativism.
