Reviews
"""Together the various contributors offer a veritable banquet of essays that are scholarly and objective, yet understandable by theologians and non-theologians alike.""--from the Foreword by Jill Raitt, Professor Emerita of Religious Studies, University of Missouri-Columbia ""The book is a cornucopia of theological insights into the continuity and changes between Trent and Vatican II and is a much-needed corrective to the popular misrepresentations of these two general councils. It also serves as a comprehensive guide to the challenges and problems confronting Christianity in the twenty-first century. No course on ecclesiology can do without it.""--Peter C. Phan, Ignacio Ellacuria Chair of Catholic Social Thought, Georgetown University ""No other book contributes more to the understanding of the Council and the Catholic Church. By comparing the continuities as well as discontinuities between Vatican II and Trent, the authors, all renowned theologians, illumine a host of central and debated issues within contemporary theology. This book is a must read for anyone interested in Roman Catholicism and how it has sought to meet the challenges of the Protestant Reformation and modernity.""--Francis Schüssler Fiorenza, Stillman Professor of Roman Catholic Studies, Harvard Divinity School ""Together the various contributors offer a veritable banquet of essays that are scholarly and objective, yet understandable by theologians and non-theologians alike.""--from the Foreword by Jill Raitt, Professor Emerita of Religious Studies, University of Missouri-Columbia ""The book is a cornucopia of theological insights into the continuity and changes between Trent and Vatican II and is a much-needed corrective to the popular misrepresentations of these two general councils.

The Index, which covers subjects as well as persons and places, is excellent; long entries are helpfully subdivided into sub-categories. The essays are both scholarly regarding the past and replete with reflections pertinent to the Roman Catholic Church and the life and mission of Christianity today."" --Ecclesiology"
...this volume is mandatory reading...The editors have gathered a number of internationally acclaimed authors, that guaranteed the quality of the contributions, yet at the same time they managed to maintain a discourse that is accessible to non-specialists and scholars alike...This book is very worthwhile. s
