This book encapsulates decades of Dennis Doyle’s devoted teaching and perceptive scholarship. The Catholic Church in a Changing World brings the Second Vatican Council to life for a new generation of college students, and under Doyle’s expert guidance, the council emerges as the ecclesial foundation for Catholics in the twenty-first century. The author weaves the council’s constitutions together with helpful summaries and interpretations of magisterial documents from Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis. Doyle’s classroom experiences enable him to articulate the questions today’s students have about the Catholic Church, and this book does not shy away from highlighting the difficulties and disagreements within the Church on various theological issues. Packed with helpful discussion questions and bibliographies, The Catholic Church in a Changing World exemplifies one of the best introductions to Catholicism available to students today.
