This life-work crystallizes and clarifies the major developments in Catholic thought and practice before and after Vatican II. Each chapter focuses on an essential theme—theology, spirituality, scripture, social justice, ecumenism, priesthood, apostolate of the laity, women in the church, medicine and ethics, crisis in the church—and illuminates them through stories, experiences, and insights.
Anyone interested in understanding the watershed history of Catholicism in the 20th century will value Walter Burghardt as a reliable guide and fascinating companion.
