It used to be Congar's lifelong theological venture to aid restoration to the church a extra evangelical, gospel-based realizing of her existence. From the titanic corpus of this nice specialist of the second one Vatican Council, this e-book gathers his efforts as they pertain in particular to the problem of authority within the church. the customarily hot-button nature of any dialogue on how authority is exercised within the church will simply enjoy the retrieval of the theological culture in this factor introduced forth via Congar. Congar's imaginative and prescient eventually calls for that our realizing of authority needs to movement from our knowing of God as a Trinity of people and, as a result, be practiced within the mutuality of dating and constantly be directed at progress in actual relationship.
