Explains the aims, achievements and failures of the Council, with particular regard for the causes and effects of the major documents and changes instituted by the church leaders Theology is not a science if we mean by this that its object is subject to experimentation and verification. Scared doctrine is a higher science-which reasons about the message given by God's revealed truth. A quote in the book from Aquinas; "In truth, theology is a participation in God's own knowledge of himself." Gives a lucid explanation of the meaning of dogma. Traces the ways in which belief in God has been expressed, and by showing how various doctrinal truths have need formulated by religious writers and Church Councils. Religious dogma is defined as "an official expression of a particular truth contained in Revelation which, once defined by the teaching authority, cannot be called in question. There is progress in Revelation "for God is manifested slowly in men." Dedicated to all those who are in search of God. Concerned simply and solely with meeting the living God. Compiled of a superb collection of magazine articles and essays which reflect the broad range of response to Pope Paul's encyclical Humanae Vitae. "Between the God who seeks man, and man who seeks God, the path must be found. Our speech about God must reach the heart of man, his inner experience. In particular, it must reach the heart of the man of our day."
