The work opens with an introduction by Cardinal Lawrence Shehan and includes reflections by such figures as Avery Dulles, Albert Outler, Jaroslav Pelikan, and Frederick Grant. Their essays illuminate the Councils theological and historical significance: the Churchs renewed understanding of itself (Lumen Gentium), the nature of divine revelation (Dei Verbum), the liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium), and the Churchs relationship with the modern world (Gaudium et Spes).
Informed, balanced, and ecumenical, Abbotts edition became the standard reference for English-speaking scholars and clergy seeking to understand the spirit and content of the Council.
