Vatican Council II: Constitutions, Decrees, Declarations: The Basic Sixteen Documents - Paperback

by Austin Flannery (Editor)

As Pope Francis leads the worldwide church wholly within and from the teachings of the Council (1962-65), there is a great need in college classrooms and parish faith formation groups--as well as for individuals--to again have access to these documents in contemporary English.

• Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium
• Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Dei Verbum
• Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilum
• Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes
• Decree on the Pastoral Office of Bishops in the Church, Christus Dominus
• Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, Presbyterorum Ordinis
