Vatican II Notebook

The journal of Marie-Dominique Chenu offers a unique glimpse into the pivotal role he played during the early years of Vatican II, specifically from 1962 to 1963. As a Dominican friar and influential theologian, Chenu's insights shaped the Council's character, including its first published statement, which emphasized the Church's engagement with contemporary issues, science, and social justice. Edited by Alberto Melloni, this work highlights the dynamic interactions among bishops and theologians, revealing the drama and significance of this transformative period in Church history.
