Leaving Christendom for Good - Church-World Dialogue in a Secular Age

Informationen zum Autor By James Gerard McEvoy Klappentext Leaving Christendom for Good argues that the Catholic Church has yet to fully implement the insights contained in Vatican II's dialogical view of the church's mission and place in society. The book explores the requirements of true dialogue, its theological meaning, and its immense benefits for church life today.
