Visions Of Hope

Description

Twenty-two young Catholic theologians from around the world explore the future of ethics, dialogue, ecclesiology, liturgy, and ministry.

Fifty years after the Second Vatican Council, emerging theologians are in a unique position to offer hopeful visions for the next fifty years in light of the pressing internal and external challenges the church faces today. Rooted in the texts of Vatican II and a deep commitment to the church, Visions of Hope brings together the research of leading young scholars around five important topics: dialogue, ecclesiology, ethics, liturgy, and ministry.

These ideas represent the future shape of the church because they are from the theologians who are planting the seminal ideas of the church of tomorrow.
