Download or read book John Paul II in the Holy Land in His Own Words written by Yehezkel Landau and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pope John Paul II has been the undisputed leader in fostering Jewish-Christian dialogue for over twenty-five years. He has labored intensely to change the hearts and minds of both sides and has never been afraid to acknowledge the sins committed by Christian people against Jews. His visit to the Middle East in March 2000, when he was able to visit the places where Jesus had lived and walked, was a moving and extraordinarily rich experience, both for him personally and for the Catholic Church. However, it also gave rise to a certain amount of rumor and misunderstanding among Jewish, Christian, and Muslim residents of the region. This book addresses these doubts and suspicions by documenting the pope's itinerary and recording the speeches that the pope gave at each stop along the journey. Replete with commentaries by Yehezkel Landau of Hartford Seminary and Michael McGarry of the Tantur Ecumenical Institute, along with maps and photos, this book is a historical record of a most historic pilgrimage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Legacy of John Paul II written by Gerald O'Collins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable book on the important themes present in John Paul II's theology. Pope Benedict XVI has written: "I consider it my essential and personal mission not so much to produce many new documents but to see to it that John Paul's documents are assimilated, because they are a very rich treasure, the authentic interpretation of Vatican II." This volume responds to that challenge in helping readers and students to understand the important themes in John Paul II's theology, which is crucial because his influence is already as great as that of almost any other Pope, and his teachings and writings need to be studied carefully by Christians of all denominations. John Paul II's writings were prolific, covering topics as important as ethics, politics, theology, and comparative religion as well as a number of philosophical works published before he became Pope.
Download or read book John Paul II and the Jewish People written by David G. Dalin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2008 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century will forever be marked by the horrific event of the Shoah. As a young man, the future John Paul II witnessed this horror during the Nazi occupation of Poland. His pontificate achieved a number of groundbreaking steps in the Catholic Church's relationship with the Jewish people. This book both reflects upon John Paul II's achievements, and seeks to continue the theological and philosophical dialogue that he cherished. By examining together the words and deeds of John Paul II, eminent Jewish and Catholic scholars exemplify in this volume the dialogue that John Paul fostered. Together, Jews and Catholics can encourage each other in the tasks of knowing the Creator, living a life worthy of the created dignity that human beings possess, and defending the vulnerable among us. As Dostoevsky warned before the horrors of the twentieth century, without God, anything is permitted. Following in the footsteps of John Paul II, we discover that our search for meaning and truth is one that needs to be undertaken arm-in-arm. Contributors include Hadley Arkes, David G. Dalin, Robert P. George, Matthew Levering, Bruce Marshall, David Novak, Michael Novak, Gregory Vall, and George Weigel.
Download or read book The Second Vatican Council on Other Religions written by Gerald O'Collins and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many observers greeted the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) as the most important religious event in the twentieth century. Its implementation and impact are still being felt in the Catholic Church, the wider Christian world, and beyond. One sea change that Vatican II brought concerned Roman Catholic attitudes towards Judaism, Islam, and other religions. Gerald O'Collins breaks fresh ground by examining in detail five documents from the Council which embodied a new mind set about other religious faiths and mandated changes that quickly led to international and national dialogues between the Catholic Church and the followers of non-Christian religions. The book also includes chapters on the insights that prepared the way for the re-thinking expressed by Vatican II, and on the follow-up to the Council's teaching found in the work of Pope John Paul II and Jacques Dupuis. O'Collins ably illustrates how the Council made a startling advance in official Catholic teaching about followers of other living faiths. Carefully researched, the book is written in the clear, accessible style that readers of previous works by O'Collins will recognize.
Download or read book Catholicism Engaging Other Faiths written by Vladimir Latinovic and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-08 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses how Vatican II opened up the Catholic Church to encounter, dialogue, and engagement with other world religions. Opening with a contribution from the President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, it next explores the impact, relevance, and promise of the Declaration Nostra Aetate before turning to consider how Vatican II in general has influenced interfaith dialogue and the intellectual and comparative study of world religions in the postconciliar decades, as well as the contribution of particular past and present thinkers to the formation of current interreligious and comparative theological methods. Additionally, chapters consider interreligious dialogue vis-à-vis theological anthropology in conciliar documents; openness to the spiritual practices of other faith traditions as a way of encouraging positive interreligious encounter; the role of lay and new ecclesial movements in interreligious dialogue; and the development of Monastic Interreligious Dialogue. Finally, it includes a range of perspectives on the fruits and future of Vatican’s II’s opening to particular faiths such as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
Download or read book Interreligious Dialogue and Popes Paul VI John Paul II and Benedict XVI written by J. Kuruvachira and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogue among religions is becoming indispensable for the promotion of peace in the world, and is envisaged as a way to find solutions to many of the tensions and conflicts existing in society. In the present epoch of tensions between religions and cultures, the subject of interreligious dialogue is particularly important, if not crucial. The Catholic Church, aware of these factors, especially since the Vatican Council II, has recognised the significance and indispensability of interreligious dialogue, and considers it as one of the ways to carry out her mission in the contemporary world. This study brings together in one volume the teachings of three Popes - Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI - on interreligious dialogue and their specific contributions and pastoral guidelines for its promotion. The sources used for the study are the official teachings of the three Popes which are found in their encyclical letters, apostolic exhortations, pastoral constitutions, homilies, catechesis during general audiences, and special addresses and messages. This book can serve as resource material for students who do basic and well as advanced courses in Catholic theology of religions and interreligious dialogue and for anyone interested in knowing about the teachings of the Popes on dialogue.
