VATICAN II: RECEPTION & RENEWAL Two Essential Studies on the Council's Unfinished Legacy ✦ TWO-BOOK SET • 50TH ANNIVERSARY SCHOLARSHIP ✦ Why These Books Belong Together Both books were published in 2015—the 50th anniversary of Vatican II's close—by two of the leading Catholic scholars on the Council. Together they provide complementary perspectives: Faggioli traces how Vatican II has been received across five decades and three pontificates; Gaillardetz examines what remains unfinished and how Pope Francis is finally completing the project. The question that drives both books: Vatican II established pillars for a new vision of the Church—but the bishops couldn't draw them together into a coherent structure. John Paul II and Benedict XVI interpreted the Council one way; Francis interprets it another. What was Vatican II really trying to accomplish, and is it finally happening? A Council for the Global Church: Receiving Vatican II in History Massimo Faggioli Fortress Press, 2015 • ISBN: 978-1-4514-7209-7 • Trade Paperback Faggioli traces the reception history of Vatican II—how the Council has been interpreted, contested, and implemented from 1965 to the Francis pontificate. He argues Vatican II is "the most important event in church history after the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation" and shows why understanding its reception is essential to understanding Catholicism's inner tensions today. "I am a great fan of Massimo Faggioli, whose broad knowledge of the Catholic tradition, awareness of theological trends worldwide, and profound knowledge of Vatican II rank him among the most astute commentators on the council today." — John W. O'Malley, SJ, Georgetown University An Unfinished Council: Vatican II, Pope Francis, and the Renewal of Catholicism Richard R. Gaillardetz (1958–2023) Liturgical Press, 2015 • ISBN: 978-0-8146-8309-5 • Trade Paperback Gaillardetz—who held the Joseph Chair in Catholic Systematic Theology at Boston College and served as president of the Catholic Theological Society of America—examines Vatican II as an "unfinished building project." Using his framework of "seven pillars," he shows what work remains and argues Pope Francis presents "a fuller integration of Vatican II's enduring significance." "Coming from one of the eminent ecclesiologists in the Catholic Church today, this book is a substantial contribution to the literature on Vatican II and, indeed, takes it on a new trajectory." — Ormond Rush, Australian Catholic University ✦ The Perfect Pairing Faggioli (Villanova) gives you the historical arc—how Vatican II was received under Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI, and what changed with Francis. Gaillardetz (Boston College) gives you the theological architecture—what the Council actually accomplished, what it left undone, and what "ecclesial virtues" are needed to complete the project. Read together, you get both the history and the theology of Catholicism's most important modern transformation. The Authors Massimo Faggioli — Professor, Villanova University.
