Meeting in four autumn sessions from 1962 to 1965, Pope Johns Council was a watershed in both world Christian and world religious history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith brevity and insight Giuseppe Alberigo tells the story of Vatican II Council for a generation that has come of age since its close. He shows us a Council that Pope John called to renew not just the church but Christianity as a whole. He shows that that vision was realized in ways far beyond its participants ability to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drama of the Council comes alive, as the assembled bishops and their advisers work on themes that transformed the global landscape of religion, bringing Catholicism into dialogue with other religious traditions and establishing a whole new spirit of intra-Christian dialogue. Alberigo also suggests ways in which the spirit of the Council has not been implemented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giuseppe Alberigo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570756384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570756382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.70w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 496","brand":"Giuseppe Alberigo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046420279551,"sku":"9781570756382","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea2f517a-328f-42aa-878c-ce3121d235ea.jpg?v=1684984458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-brief-history-of-vatican-giuseppe-alberigo-9781570756382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
