Decrees and Declarations : The Decrees and Declarations

The Second Vatican council met from 1962 through 1965 and is the most significant even in the last 400 years of Christian history! It changed the face of the Roman Catholic Church forever and dramatically affected all the people of the world. Yet it's not very well understood by many people because, until now, no "plain English" rendering of its outcomes has been widely available.With "Vatican II in Plain English," that has changed. In Book Three of the series, author and theologian Bill Huebsch has provided paraphrase texts in sense lines of the nine degrees and three declarations of the council. Known for an ability to make theology accessible to lay readers, Huebsch makes the documents read like poetry. These documents can and should be treated with great reverence and read as "The World of the Church" alongside other great spiritual treasures.
