Description

Experience a firsthand account of one of the most significant moments in modern religious history. In The Open Church, Michael Novak provides an eyewitness report on the second session of Vatican II in 1964. As a well-informed lay intellectual with a theological degree, Novak offers a unique perspective that blends the pageantry, politics, and theology of the Council. Novak supports the vision of Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI to open the windows of the church to the modern world. His writing provides deep insight into the internal struggles of the era, including his famous observation regarding the party of "nonhistorical orthodoxy." This group focused on the eternal and unchanging while neglecting the importance of history and contingency. This book is an essential read for those studying Catholic history, the impact of the Popes, and the evolution of the Church. It serves as a detailed record of the efforts to reform and modernize the institution during a time of massive global change.
