Learning from All the Faithful

"Hinze and Phan represent two of the most influential figures working in Catholic theology today and they have brought together in one volume both established scholars and important new voices. This volume will serve as an invaluable resource for those wishing to explore how the Spirit of God continues to be heard in the world today."

--Richard R. Gaillardetz, Boston College

 

"At a time when Pope Francis is challenging lay Catholics to exercise greater leadership in the Church, this superb collection of essays draws on history, theology, ethics, and the social sciences to explore how the sense of the faithful has long contributed to the life of the Church and offers exciting possibilities for future development around the world. Highly recommended for all who care about the future of the Catholic Church!"

--Leo D. Lefebure, Georgetown University



"The essays collected here explode in a kaleidoscope of colorful views that show just how rich this single theme can be. Eminently readable, the book makes a strong contribution to a disputed but vitally important question in ecclesiology today."

--Elizabeth Johnson, Fordham University



"This exciting collection takes the term sensus fidelium beyond being a buzzword of liberal theologians and grounds it firmly where theology must be grounded, equally in the insights of inherited tradition and in the theological wisdom of contemporary global Catholicism."

--Paul Lakeland, Fairfield University
