Editorial Reviews
Review
These volumes are a welcome gift to all readers. Historically complete and pastorally textured, they provide important renderings of the Vatican II documents and reflective insights into the Council's proceedings. -- Maria Harris
From the Author
I honestly think everyone should have a copy of these documents handy. Believe it or not, they offer a pretty good glimpse into what it means to be Christian today.

The Constitutions - Vatican II in Plain English; by Bill Huebsch,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Constitutions (Vatican II in Plain English) (Paperback)
This book is a priceless treasure. It has led me to a clearer understand of the documents of Vatican II,especially The Dogmatic Constitution on the Church-Lumen Gentium and The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation- Dei Verbum. I provide each member of the RCIA team as well as each Catechumen,candidate and sponsor in the RCIA process with a copy and refer to it frequently in our catechetical sessions. It provides an inspiring and readable resource of "Who the Catholic Church is and what we believe."
