Yves Congar
"No theologian of the twentieth century is more deserving of a commemorative volume than Yves Congar. The present symposium commends itself by the high quality of the multinational group of scholars contributing to it"--Quatrième de couverture
Faithful to the Future
Faithful to the Future examines the true nature of Christian Tradition and particularly how it implies a fidelity not only to the past but to the future as well - tradition appears to be inseparable from creativity and reform. Congar's sense of the future and his conviction that something very important is happening in history led him to re-emphasize forgotten dimensions of Christian tradition, especially those that value the human person. When Congar reflected on Church authority and how it is best exercised, he was not thinking about a power that curtails freedom. Seeking to rediscover what is specific to Christianity, he described authority as a reality that is at the service of growth, w...
Yves Congar
A series of articles by Yves Congar from 1946 to 1956. Yves Congar kept in a discontinuous way, a journal on the main events of the life of church to which he was involved in this period, either directly or indirectly. he assembled these writings which constitute a living chronicle and informs the reader about the history of intellectual life of the zCatholic Church after the Second World War. Fresh out of captivity the Congar after the War he was under suspicion and sanctions by ecclesial authorities for some of his writings.

Essential Writings
Yves Congar (1904-1995), a French Dominican theologian, was a prophet in the church of the mid-20th century, persecuted in the 1950s only to become perhaps the single most formative influence on Vatican II. This volume provides real insight and fresh hope for those concerned to breathe new life into the church of the 21st century.
My Journal of the Council
Yves Congar was a theological advisor to the preparatory commission for Vatican II, and attended all sessions of the Council (1962-1965) as a theological expert. His daily journal provides a window into the Council's workings and into the development of what would become a series of historical documents and declarations. Theologian Yves Congar op, silenced and exiled in 1955, was in 1960 made a theological advisor to the preparatory commission for Vatican II. From then on, and all through the Council (1962-1965), he was an influential day-to-day participant in its work. His diary provides a window into the Council's workings and the development of what would become a series of historical 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.
Yves Congar's Theology of the Holy Spirit
The French Dominican theologian Yves Congar is recognized by many as the most important Roman Catholic ecclesiologist of the 20th century. He was the thinker behind some of the major decrees of the Second Vatican council. He was also a leader in the ecumenical movement in Europe throughout most of the century. Despite his importance, there are few books about Congar in English. Congar's pneumatology, argues Groppe, can enrich various ongoing theological discussions, including reflection as to whether the church should be hierarchical or a democracy, the development of "persons in communion" as a framework for contemporary theological anthropology and ecclesiology, and deliberations about the personhood of the Holy Spirit.
At the Heart of Christian Worship
Cardinal Yves Congar is universally known and respected as the great ecclesiologist of Vatican II whose seminal ideas helped to reconfigure the landscape of Catholic theology following the council. Less well known is his role in contributing far-reaching insights to the emerging liturgical movement in the church. This collection represents several of Congar's decisive contributions. Reading them makes possible a deeper and more cogent reception of the key ideas of the council documents. These texts are at once both erudite and exciting, both essential and pastorally incisive. There has never been a better time to disseminate these critically important liturgical insights than the present moment.
Diary of the 1914-1918 War
Written as a young man in Sedan, in the eastern France, which was occupied by the German's in the First Wold War, Congar makes daily entries about the War. Written from the eyes of a child, the diary was found in his room in Paris after his death and published a few years later. The diary comes with the drawings, maps, and poetry he made as part of this daily entries.
Yves Congar: a Life
This book is the culmination of a long companionship, a final link between a historian familiar with theology and a theologian keen on history. It was in February 1966 that Etienne Fouilloux met the Dominican theologian Yves Congar for the first time. He then began a thesis on the origins of ecumenism. Congar liberally opened his personal archives to him. For fifteen years, Congar did not leave the horizon of Fouilloux. Congar attended the defense of his thesis in 1980. Then, according to the work of the historian, the theologian was never far away, voluntary or involuntary protagonist of many of his studies on the theological crises of the 1930s and 1950s, the Second World War or the Second...
