From the \"Council of Jerusalem\" in the Acts of the Apostles, through the Councils of Nicaea, Constantinople, Trent, and Vatican II, these meetings of the world's bishops are some of the most important events in the life of the Church and the most profound expressions of the Church's teaching authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than a history of the twenty-one ecumenical councils, this question-and-answer book provides a practical and theological explanation of them. It provides the historical context that led to each council, the reasons it was convened, the major events that happened during the council, and the impact of its teachings, then and now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile surveying some of the most important issues and controversies in the history of the Church, the author also explains and defends the teaching authority of the bishops as successors to the apostles, particularly when teaching together as a single, united body, in union with the pope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Senz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621645118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621645115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Paul Senz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132308091135,"sku":"9781621645115","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a9290ac-4528-487c-916b-be09e5623ea6.jpg?v=1687479450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/church-councils-paul-senz-9781621645115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
