Revelation and the Church: Vatican II in the Twenty-First Century
by Raymond A. Lucker, William C. McDonough
Category: Religion

Taken from writings and notes by Bishop Lucker for a book he was unable to complete before he passed away, it explains that there have always been three basic levels of Church teach. Together with fourteen other theologians, Dr. McDonough follows Bishop Lucker?s lead and focuses on some of these authoritative but non-irreformable teachings: biblical translations in the life of the Church; the relationship between the local and the universal Church; the Church and science; the sacraments and inculturation; the Church?s development of ?a culture of life;? a growing understanding of marriage; war and peace; and more. These issues, emblematic of others, indicate the power of divine revelation to change the Church.chings.
