Drawing on the documents of Vatican II as well as biblical, theological, and spiritual resources, Hinze seeks to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to foster prophetic obedience in the contemporary church. In the spirit of works by Johann Baptist Metz, Ignacio Ellacuría, Jon Sobrino, Dean Brackley, and Sandra Schneiders, this book advances a practical fundamental ecclesiology that combines a constructive theological argument with an argument for greater lay participation and “grassroots democracy” in the church.
Bradford E. Hinze is the Karl Rahner Chair in Theology at Fordham University in New York. He is a former President of the College Theology Society and the current President of the Catholic Theological Society of America. He is the author of numerous articles and books, including Practices of Dialogue in the Roman Catholic Church: Aims and Obstacles, Lessons and Laments (2006).
