THE CHURCH IN THE MODERN WORLDGaudium et Spes Then and NowMichael G. Lawler, Todd A. Salzman, and Eileen Burke-Sullivan

Gaudium et Spes, Vatican II’s Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, marked fundamental shifts in ethical methodology, in how we do ethics in the Catholic tradition, and in how we think about ethical and ecclesial issues in the Catholic Church in the modern world. On the document’s fiftieth anniversary, this book explores the historical origins of Gaudium et Spes, its impact on the Church’s ecclesial self-understanding, and its implications for doing Catholic theological ethics for the specific ethical issues of marriage, social justice, politics, and peacebuilding. The book engages in the ongoing communal discernment of the aggiornamento sought by the council’s convener, Pope John XXIII, seeking to bring the Church up to date in the twenty-first century.

THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCILMessage and MeaningGerald O’Collins, SJ

Convened by Pope John XXIII, the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) profoundly changed the self-image and life of the Catholic Church. But understanding, interpreting, and implementing Vatican II still remain a task far from completed. Pope Francis has given fresh impetus toward practicing the Council’s teaching about a humble, servant Church that pursues justice and peace for

the whole world. This book explores and presents Vatican II’s developments in doctrine about divine revelation; the nature, mission, and collegiality of the Church; religious freedom; and the divine grace that reaches all human beings. It takes up the

profound significance of the liturgy constitution, which opened the way for the Council’s subsequent teaching. In documenting the renewal and reform conveyed by the message and meaning of Vatican II, this book illustrates the scholarship and accessible style for which Gerald O’Collins has become renowned.

“These lucid, insightful, indeed, magisterial essays are a precious guide toward a fuller appreciation and appropriation of the significance and implications of this epochal Council.” Robert P. Imbelli

“As in all of O’Collins’s writings, there is a theological preciseness in his treatment of the Vatican II documents. Such an approach is essential for every theologian who continues to probe and understand the teachings of the Council.” Sr. Maureen Sullivan, OP

St. Anselm College

“A wonderful example of the vitality of the theology of Vatican II in light of the New Evangelization.”

CONNECTED TOWARD COMMUNIONThe Church and Social Communication in the Digital AgeDaniella Zsupan-Jerome

We are living in a cultural shift: digital communication has reshaped the way we interact with one another, form and maintain relationships, and gain knowledge and understanding. How might we go about communicating the Good News of Jesus Christ in the midst of these changes to an emerging culture shaped by digital media? This question addresses the whole church, from the baptized faithful to pastoral ministers and the institutional structures that serve the church locally and globally. In Connected toward Communion, Daniella Zsupan-Jerome traces the Roman Catholic Church’s contemporary thought and practice of social communication, from Inter Mirifica of the Second Vatican Council to the church’s approach to communicating faith through social networking today. Throughout, a key question forms a common thread: how might we form pastoral ministers today for serving the church in the digital age and beyond?

SORTING OUT CATHOLICISMA Brief History of the New Ecclesial MovementsMassimo Faggioli

Translated by Demetrio S. Yocum

In this expanded and thoroughly updated English edition of the Italian edition (2008), Massimo Faggioli offers us a history and broader context of the so-called ecclesial movements of which Focolare, Community of Sant’Egidio, Neocatechumenal Way, Legionaries of Christ, Communion and Liberation, and Opus Dei are only some of the most recognizable names. Their history goes back to the period following the First Vatican Council, crosses Vatican II, and develops throughout the twentieth century. It is a history that prepares the movements’ rise in the last three decades, from John Paul II to Francis. These movements are a complex phenomenon that shapes the Church now more than before, and they play a key role for the future of Catholicism as a global community, in transition from a Europe-centered tradition to a world Church.

ILLUMINATING UNITYFour Perspectives on Dei Verbum’s “One Table of the Word of God and the Body of Christ”Rhodora E. Beaton

Fifty years ago, Dei Verbum called Catholics to reflect on the inherent unity of the “one table of the word of God and the body of Christ.” Drawing from a variety of ancient and modern insights, the author proposes a fresh view of word and sacrament as interrelated facets of God’s one enduring revelation. Like a table with four sides, the unity of the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist can be seen from the viewpoints of prophecy, pneumatology, language, and sacramentality.

Grounded in Catholic systematic theology, the author extends the conversation to ecumenical reflection and implications for communities of faith.


Rhodora E. Beaton, PhD, is assistant professor of systematic theology at St. Catherine University. She specializes in sacraments, liturgy, and theology of revelation. She is the author of Embodied Words, Spoken Signs: Sacramentality and the Word in Rahner and Chauvet.

THE THEOLOGY OF CARDINAL WALTER KASPERSpeaking Truth in LoveEdited by Kristin M. Colberg and Robert A. Krieg

Foreword by Cardinal Walter Kasper

Cardinal Walter Kasper’s contributions to theology, ecumenism, Jewish-Christian relations, and the pastoral life of the church have shaped Catholicism in the twentieth and twenty-first

centuries. Acknowledging this, Pope Francis has praised Kasper’s “profound and serene” theology.

In The Theology of Cardinal Walter Kasper: Speaking Truth in Love, leading theologians from across the United States and Canada explore the full scope of Kasper’s thought on topics such as

the character of ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, Christology, theological method, and the nature of the church-world relationship. Kasper himself presents four previously unpublished texts: on the interpretation of Vatican II, on forgiveness, on Christian hope, and on the approach to theology today.

This volume originated at a conference, at which Kasper was an active participant, in honor of his eightieth birthday. It provides an introduction to Kasper’s thought and also an overview of major issues in contemporary Catholic theology.


Kristin M. Colberg is assistant professor of theology at Saint John’s University and the College of Saint Benedict. She received her doctorate at the University of Notre Dame and is the author of several articles on the Second Vatican Council that have appeared in journals such as The Heythrop Journal, Horizons, and Missiology. She serves as a member of the Catholic-Reformed dialogue in the United States and has known Cardinal Kasper since 2003.

Robert A. Krieg received his doctorate from the University of Notre Dame in 1976 and has taught there since 1977. He is the author of several books, including Treasure in the Field: Salvation in the Bible and in Our Lives (Liturgical Press, 2013). Krieg has published articles in America, Comment, Commonweal, The Heythrop Journal, The Irish Theological Quarterly, The Journal of Religious Thought, Theologische Quartalschrift, Theological Studies, and Worship. He has known Cardinal Kasper since 1980.

NO TURNING BACK The Future of Ecumenism Margaret O’Gara

Edited by Michael Vertin

Forewords by Bishop Richard J. Sklba and Professor David M. Thompson

Jesus’ prayer on behalf of his of followers is “that all may be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us” (John 17:21). No Turning Back illustrates significant developments in ecumenism during the thirty-plus years of ecumenical theologian Margaret O’Gara’s own engagement in ecumenical dialogue. This collection of selected papers from the final fifteen years of O’Gara’s work before her untimely death in 2012 aims

• to illustrate the broad lines of ecumenism for general readers

• to share concrete details of recent ecumenical developments with specialist readers

• to encourage both groups of readers in their commitment to the pursuit of full communion among the Christian churches

An invaluable resource for academic and ecclesial specialists in ecumenism, teachers and students of theology and religious studies, Christian ministers, and all educated Christian adults who take seriously Jesus’ prayer “that all may be one.”


“These essays comprise an important collection for showing those devoted to the future of ecumenism some significant steps toward Christian unity already taken and the dedication that is necessary as the movement continues.”

John A. Radano Seton Hall University

Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, 1984–2008

“We are in the presence of an ecumenical theologian par excellence, a veteran dialogue partner, and a brilliant educator: insistently hermeneutical, yet keeping the whole in view, finding the secret Scripture in ancient formula, dissenting voice, and dangerous memory. Systematic analysis of dearly held confessional forms is balanced by a nose for the crux, emergent consensus, analogous approach. The reader learns that unity is gift of the Holy Spirit, nurtured in prayer, discipline, repentance, and the joys of friendship.”

Geraldine Smyth, OP Irish School of Ecumenics

A COUNCIL THAT WILL NEVER ENDLumen Gentium and the Church TodayPaul Lakeland

In A Council That Will Never End, the highly regarded ecclesiologist Paul Lakeland marks the fiftieth anniversary of this document’s promulgation by taking up three major themes of the constitution, analyzing the text, and identifying some of the questions with which it leaves us.

TRUE REFORMLiturgy and Ecclesiology in Sacrosanctum ConciliumMassimo Faggioli

In True Reform, Faggioli takes Sacrosanctum Concilium as a hermeneutical key to the council. He offers a thorough reflection on the relationship between the liturgical constitution and the whole achievement of Vatican II and argues that the interconnections between the two must emerge if we want to understand the impact of the council on global Catholicism.


“Paul Lakeland has produced another groundbreaking study which will inspire and energize so many throughout the church and academy alike.”

Gerard Mannion Amaturo Chair in Catholic Studies

Georgetown University

“An articulate, clear response to those who seek to reject the liturgical renewal of the Council as inauthentic, antiquarian, and modernist. A must-read for all those seeking a deeper understanding of the Second Vatican Council and the liturgical renewal of the Church.”

Timothy O’Malley Church Life

“This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the challenges of being Catholic today.”

in its larger historical context, probing its fundamental meaning, and considering its larger significance for the life of the church today.

Translated by Mary John Ronayne, OP, and Mary Cecily Boulding, OP

This material is a treasure trove of information and

insight for anyone interested in the history of the council and its remarkable and historic teaching. It provides a window into the council’s workings and the development of what would become a series of historic documents and declarations. It also offers Congar’s own down-to-earth

and candid perspective on many of the remarkable people and events that shaped the council.

TRUE AND FALSE REFORM IN THE CHURCHYves Congar, OP; Translated with an Introduction by Paul Philibert

Pope John XXIII opened the Second Vatican Council by

describing its goals in terms that reflected Congar’s description of authentic reform: reform that penetrates to the heart of doctrine as a message of salvation for the whole of humanity, that retrieves the meaning of prophecy in a living church, and that is deeply rooted in history rather than superficially related to the apostolic tradition.


RECEIVING THE COUNCILTheological and Canonical Insights and DebatesLadislas Orsy, SJ

Bearing in mind that Vatican II was the conclusion of one era and the opening of another, Ladislas Orsy insists that

the task of the church is to continue—with both creative insights and critical debates. Receiving the Council is a gift from a highly renowned and deeply respected canon lawyer and theologian who was an eyewitness to Vatican II. It is filled with well-articulated questions and intelligent insights as well as prudent proposals for good structures in the “house of God” that is the church.


“The significance of the council to the reader’s life today, and how it might be best applied in his or her encounter with the world, is an important part of the book and provides an opportunity for reflection for the thoughtful reader.” Catholic Studies

“One of the most theologically fascinating and just plain entertaining books I’ve read in a long time is Yves Congar’s My Journal of the Council.” Robert Barron
