 General Description:

The Councils Of The Church

In this remarkably clear and compact introduction, Fr. Norman Tanner offers the results of years of intensive study and teaching of the ecumenical councils. Tanner provides a comprehensive history of conciliar teaching, extending from the early and medieval councils to the Second Vatican Council. Tanner's rich analysis is compelling in its own right and indispensable as an aid for reading the conciliar texts themselves, and this concise text is required reading for anyone interested in the history and teachings of the Church. Given recent theological and historical interest in the relationship between pope and council, no theological library will be complete without this convincing account of the councils' historical accomplishments and their abiding importance in the life of the Church.

About the author: Rev. Norman Tanner, S.J., is lecturer in Medieval History at Campion Hall, Oxford University, and in Church History at Heythrop College, London University. He is author of The Church In Late Medieval Norwich, 1370-1532 and editor of the magisterial Decrees of the Ecumenical Councils.
