The Second Vatican Council
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.

La Iglesia del futuro
La Iglesia no puede contentarse con perpetuarse como un sistema rígido, fijado de una manera definitiva. Debe encontrar sin cesar en Aquel que la funda y en conversación con los mundos en los que se halla los medios para renovarse y responder a su tarea de ser sacramento universal de salvación. Una clave que debe atravesar el espíritu y la reforma de la Iglesia para que se ajuste a las llamadas del futuro es la de la escucha que se despliega en acción. Al igual que el del diálogo, este término debe formar parte del vocabulario de la teología y de sus enseñanzas, y ser objeto de trabajos específicos de investigación teológica, pues se trata de nada menos que de la cuestión de la posibilidad de realización de la salvación en la existencia concreta, diaria, de las personas y las comunidades, capaz de transformar las sociedades.
God's Word and the Church's Council
The publication of the Vatican II document on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum) was an exciting and challenging moment for the Church. While honouring the tradition, it also marked a quite dramatic development in the Church's attitude to modern critical analysis of the Bible and encouraged study and reflection on it by all members of the Church. The golden jubilee of its publication is a timely moment for a book such as this. It contains essays on various aspects of Dei Verbum by authors from around the world. They write from the perspective of their respective disciplines of biblical studies, patristics, theology, liturgy, philosophy, and communications media. They situate the document within the Jewish-Christian tradition, assess its reception since Vatican II, and its implications for the future.
Abusos en la Iglesia
El abuso es siempre un abuso de poder y un abuso de confianza, especialmente en las relaciones de dependencia. En este sentido utilizamos el término "abuso", y lo utilizamos en plural, porque existen múltiples formas de abuso (abusos espirituales, psicológicos, sexuales, etc.). En este número de Concilium nos preguntamos por el papel y la responsabilidad institucional y teológica de la Iglesia católica, tanto por causar sufrimiento al permitir relaciones abusivas como por sus prácticas de encubrimiento. La reflexión teológica de los artículos de la primera parte se centra en la escucha de las voces de quienes han sufrido abusos, y en la segunda parte reflexionan sobre la conexión entre abusos, poder e institución.

Theology on the Border
Focusing on the Mediterranean, this book offers a theological hermeneutics from the perspective of the margin/border and a theological hermeneutics of the border. At the core is a case study of the Italian Protestant minority and its engagement with issues of migration. While much of current migration theology is built around the principle of sacralization of the migrant person or 'vertical' association between divinity (God or Jesus) and people on the move, this work offers a 'horizontal' perspective on humanization or recognition of the value of every human being, based on the principle of a shared humanity created in God’s image, and a sense of identification, first by people at the margins. This approach seeks to avoid essentializing migrantness and victimhood. Elaborations on the relation between identity and migration are often sustained by exclusionary logics that lead to repressive policies. The book proposes a contextual theological reflection on minority identity that is at its core inclusive. It offers a contribution to theology beyond confessional borders and is open to dialogue with other disciplines, particularly critical border studies.
Jürgen Moltmann
"...true theologians are more than good religious managers, for their hearts must be in what they are doing. Without personal authenticity, no one will believe in the truth of their message."- Jürgen Moltmann, from his lecture What is a Theologian? at the Pontifical University, Maynooth, Ireland (1998). Jürgen Moltmann was born into a secular family of teachers in Hamburg in 1926. His plans to study mathematics and physics were interrupted by the destruction of Hamburg in July of 1943. He was one of only a few students serving in the anti-aircraft battery in the central city that survived the Royal Air Force "fire storm" that killed over 40,000. He spent the next three years as a prisoner ...
