General Description:

Drawing on his years of experience as a Catholic writer, Philip Trower offers a long view of how the Church has arrived in its present situation. Wheareas many analyses take the Second Vatican Council as their starting point, Trower turns his gaze back towards the previous centuries, searching out the roots of modern conflicts over authority within the Church, the nature of Scripture, the relationship with the secular world, and more.

His central thesis is that the positive movements for reform, and the negative movements of rebellion against the Church's authority and elements of her teaching, grew up intertwined in the years preceding Vatican II, and that it was only really in the period following the Council that the division between the two became clearer. His analysis introduces the reader to a host of persons and movements whose legacy endures.

Philip Trower's accessible style of writing and his attention to detail offer the reader a clear understanding of where the Church has come from in its recent past. Turmoil and Truth is essential reading for all who wish to understand the present and future direction of the Catholic Church.

Philip Trower, a British writer who covered five episcopal synods in Rome from 1980 to 1990, is also the author of the novel, A Danger to the State.
