Synopsis

Young theologians from several countries and multiple areas of theology offer hopeful insights on the future of ethics, dialogue, ecclesiology, liturgy and ministry.

Fifty years after the Second Vatican Council, emerging theologians are in a unique position to offer hopeful visions for the next fifty years of the Church in light of the pressing internal and external challenges it faces today. Rooted in the texts of Vatican II and a commitment to the church, Visions of Hope brings together the research of leading young scholars around five important topics: dialogue, ecclesiology, ethics, liturgy and ministry.

These ideas represent the future shape of the Church because they are from the theologians who are planting the seminal ideas of Church.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In 2003, three US Christian peacemakers weathered the first horrifying days of Shock and Awe in Baghdad only to be nearly killed in a car accident as they were leaving the country. They were rescued by Iraqi Muslims who took them to a clinic in the bombed-out town of Rutba, where they received protection and care. In sending the Americans on their way, their hosts had only one request: Go and tell the world of Rutba. In fulfillment of that pledge, the peacemakers returned to Rutba in 2010 to thank the doctors and all who saved them and to contribute to an ongoing process of peace, friendship, and reconciliation.

Revue de presse

Many books claim to contain a life-changing message, but this one delivers. Only a few could physically be there for the events described in these pages, but readers of these pages can become witnesses to amazing grace in an unexpected place. --Brian McLaren
