Title: Still Interpreting Vatican II
First published: November 2004
Description: "Still Interpreting Vatican II proposes three phases of investigation. First, a hermeneutical inquiry must determine the meanings intended by the authors of Vatican II's documents by reconstructing the "spirit" of the documents in the context of their conciliar debates and committee work. Second, a hermeneutic of the texts must look at issues of genre, structure, rhetoric, intratextuality, and intertextuality - all of which are significant in reconstructing the "letter" of the council. Third, the effort to reconstruct both "spirit" and "letter" must be supplemented by attention to the post-conciliar reception of the Council and its texts."--BOOK JACKET.
