This book attempts to outline a theology of the Church for the twenty-first century. Starting from a principle that was enunciated in Paul VI's first encyclical (Ecclesiam suam), it finds its focus in the awareness of being the Church that is implied in the profession of the Christian faith. It takes full account of the contemporary manner of reading Scripture, and it sees the tradition as an unfinished forward movement. The ecumenical dialogues and the encounter with religions that were the fruits of Vatican Council II contribute to the discussion. The future of the Church is anticipated in light of scientific findings regarding the shape and history of the universe. This ecclesiology is profoundly Cathohlic, experiential, and Trinitarian.
"A Michael Glazier book." Includes bibliographical references (p. 147-161) and index.

The greatest challenge to ecumenical dialogue has come not from discussion on justification by faith or papal primacy or even infallibility, but from discussions related to the Virgin Mary. In this five-part investigation of the significance of Mary--not just in Christian faiths, but to Jews and Muslims as well--Tavard gathers insights from Scripture, the Reformation, the Modern Age, Tradition, and World Religions.
"This book was born from the author's ecumenical experience and theological reflection. Formed in theology in France, where Henri de Lubac was one of his professors, the author also knew Jean Danielou and Yves Congar well. He is thus well acquainted with what came to be called the 'new theology,' while his doctoral thesis on St. Bonaventure anchored his thought in the great century of scholastic theology." "In the perusal of this new book the reader will be guided through the problems, difficulties, intricacies, and also the hopes, possibilities, and discoveries of the ecumenical way. He or she should be led to see why John Paul II, who also had experienced Vatican II, declared the ecumenical commitment of the Catholic Church to be "irrevocable.""--BOOK JACKET.
