Radical Dominican and Vatican II Pioneer

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the life and work of Pierre-André Liégé, presenting it to an English speaking readership for the first time. Bradbury discusses the impact and profound challenges Liege's work produces for spirituality, and argues that for faith to match real life, the church today needs to re-examine the question of what it must do to conform to the Gospel. This book takes critical issues confronting practical theology and the church, breaking them open in a lively and accessible style.
