Pope John called the council not to reform heresy or to denounce errors but to update the church's capacity to explain itself to the world and to revitalize ecclesial life in all its unique local manifestations. Congar's masterpiece fills in the blanks of what we have been missing in our reception of the council and its call to \"true reform.\"  Yves Congar, OP, a French Dominican who died in 1995, was the most important ecclesiologist in modern times. His writings and his active participation in Vatican II had an immense influence upon the council documents. With a few other contemporaries, Congar pioneered a new style of theological research and writing that linked the great tradition of Scripture and the Fathers to contemporary pastoral questions with lucidity and passion. His key concerns were the unity of the church, lay apostolic life, and a revival of the church's theology of the Holy Spirit. He was named a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in recognition of his profound contributions to the Second Vatican Council.  Paul Philibert, OP, has taught pastoral theology in the United States and abroad. He is a Dominican friar of the Southern Province. His translation of a collection of Congar's essays on the liturgy has recently been published by Liturgical Press under the title At the Heart of Christian Worship. His book The Priesthood of the Faithful: Key to a living Church (Liturgical Press, 2005) reflects the ecclesiology of Yves Congar and his Vision of the apostolic life of the faithful.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50060141134097,"sku":"CIN0814656935G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008160006417,"sku":"NIN9780814656938","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51681415135505,"sku":"GOR012764852","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52684298518801,"sku":"NLS9780814656938","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52980301562129,"sku":"CIN0814656935VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814656935.jpg?v=1751107708"},{"product_id":"at-the-heart-of-christian-worship-book-yves-congar-op-9780814662298","title":"At the Heart of Christian Worship","description":"Cardinal Yves Congar is universally known and respected as the great ecclesiologist of Vatican II whose seminal ideas helped to reconfigure the landscape of Catholic theology following the council. Less well known is his role in contributing far-reaching insights to the emerging liturgical movement in the church. This collection represents several of Congar's decisive contributions. Reading them makes possible a deeper and more cogent reception of the key ideas of the council documents. These texts are at once both erudite and exciting, both essential and pastorally incisive. There has never been a better time to disseminate these critically important liturgical insights than the present moment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008269877521,"sku":"NIN9780814662298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416446533905,"sku":"CIN0814662293G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52667394490641,"sku":"NLS9780814662298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814662293.jpg?v=1750946605"},{"product_id":"power-and-poverty-in-the-church-book-yves-congar-op-9780809153039","title":"Power and Poverty in the Church","description":"Originally published in 1964, Yves Congar's thoughts on ministry and the need for simplicity are still timely and essential, as they foreshadow the teachings of Pope Francis. †","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51436750143761,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51436750242065,"sku":"GOR009634001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0809153033.jpg?v=1751043021"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-yves-congar-op.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
