Abstract

Kristin M. Colberg, Vatican I and Vatican II: Councils in the Living Tradition, Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 2016. Pages: xiii+162. ISBN:978-0-8146-8314-9.

‘Living Tradition,’ in the sub-title, is understood principally as the half-century from the end of Vatican II (1962-5) until the publication of this book, though with some appreciation of the century between Vatican I (1869-70) and Vatican II as well as recognition that this living tradition has not ended in 2016 but will continue to develop further.
