Conciliar Octet: A Concise Commentary on the Eight Key Texts of the Second Vatican Council
Fr. Aidan Nichols O.P.
In this work Dominican scholar and writer Aidan Nichols maintains that the Council texts must be interpreted in the light of their genesis, not their aftermath.
They must be seen in the light of the public debates in the Council chamber, not the hopes (or fears) of individuals behind the scenes.
On this basis, he provides a concise commentary on the eight most significant documents produced by the Council, documents which cover pretty comprehensively all the major aspects of the Church’s life.
