Vatican Council II: Constitutions, Decrees, Declarations: The Basic Sixteen Documents

As Pope Francis leads the worldwide church wholly within and from the teachings of the Council (1962-65), there is a great need in college classrooms and parish faith formation groups—as well as for individuals—to again have access to these documents in contemporary English.   This volume contains the sixteen official documents—constitutions, decrees, and declarations—of the Second Vatican Council in the most popular and widely used inclusive-language edition translated by Irish Dominican Austin Flannery (+2008). This edition is also presented with a larger, more readable font than previous editions.  Table of Contents:Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen GentiumDogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Dei VerbumConstitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum ConcilumPastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et SpesDecree on the Pastoral Office of Bishops in the Church, Christus DominusDecree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, Presbyterorum OrdinisDecree on the Training of Priests, Optatam TotiusDecree on the Up-to-Date Renewal of Religious Life, Perfectae CaritatisDecree on the Apostolate of Lay People, Apostolicam ActuositatemDecree on the Church’s Missionary Activity, Ad Gentes DivinitusDecree on Ecumenism, Unitatis RedintegratioDecree on the Catholic Eastern Churches, Orientalium EcclesiarumDecree on the Mass Media, Inter MirificaDeclaration on Religious Liberty, Dignitatis HumanaeDeclaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions, Nostra AetateDeclaration on Christian Education, Gravissimum Educationis  Each of these sixteen documents is also available as separate eBooks (PDF, ePub, and Mobi) priced at $2.99 each.
