Synopsis

William Madges and Michael Daley have gathered forty personal stories of women and men who took part in the council, were there at the time, or saw the course of their life change dramatically because of it. These storytellers include: Joan Chittister, M. Basil Pennington, Richard Rohr, Elizabeth Johnson, Lawrence Cunningham, Richard P. McBrien, John Dominic Crossan, Thomas Groome, Avery Dulles, Barbara Reid, Eugene Fisher, Mary Jo Weaver, Roger of Taize, Walter Burghardt With their personal stories, and with Madges' and Daley's insightful introductions to the major themes of the council, Vatican II: Forty Personal Stories highlights the momentous events that have shaped the Catholic Church for the past fifty years. Catholics of the Vatican II generation will see some of their own personal experiences reflected in these stories, and perhaps come to new understandings about the events of their lives. Younger Catholics and high school and college students will find here a great introduction to the council, and why it's still so significant to their lives today.
