Foreword to the series.--introduction.--Chapter 1. From community to clergy-laity.--Chapter 2. Vatican II as a theological breakthrough in catholic thought.--Chapter 3. The church as sacrament of the kingdom.--Chapter 4. Mission as prophetic dialogue.--Chapter 5. Church as sacrament of communion: towards a participative church.--Glossary.

This book is our attempt to respond to the call of Vatican II to contextualize the Gospel. Our authors introduce us to the task of doing theology using three conversation partners and putting them in a mutual critical correlation: contemporary experience, cultural reality, and religious tradition. This leads us away from a largely theoretical approach to understanding and living out the faith to one that begins within and returns to the world in which we live.
