As the Church celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, John Markey, O.P., examines the ecclesiology that has emerged from that historic event. In particular, this book expands upon and clarifies the term 'communion,' one of the most central issues in the Church today and pivotal already at Vatican II. Markey offers a systematic theological analysis fo the Church's Constitutions (Guadium et Spes and Lumen Gentium)--one of the first (and perhaps only) attempts in English to do so at a critical time in the life of the Church. This book will give rich insights to students in ministry formation--both seminarians and lay ecclesial ministers--as well as to lay people who want to know more about the Church and Vatican II.
