Shedding Light On Lumen Gentium

An Introduction to Vatican II document Lumen Gentium (The Dogmatic Constitution on the Church)

Though Saint John Paul II said, “the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) was a great gift to the Church” for various reasons few laity know much (positive) about its teachings. This book is a beginning at changing that. "Shedding Light on Lumen Gentium" is an article-by-article summary of Vatican II document "The Dogmatic Constitution on the Church," better known by its incipit "Lumen Gentium". Saint John Paul II said Lumen Gentium unlocks the teachings of Vatican IIl therefore, with a better understanding of this document, we can better understand how to live the life to which we have been called. Written by a layman for the laity, "Shedding Light on Lumen Gentium" is for Catholic adults who want a better understanding of what is means to be a faithful Roman Catholic.
