- Summary
- "The Second Vatican Council, summoned by Pope John XXIII on Christmas Day 1961, met in four autumn sessions from 1962 to 1965. The Council was a watershed in both world Christian and world religious history. Historian Giuseppe Alberigo tells the story of that Council for a generation that has come of age since its close. Here, the drama of the Council comes alive, as the assembled bishops and their advisors worked on themes that would transform the global landscape of religion in ways that few, including Pope John, could have imagined."--BOOK JACKET.
