A Theology for a Church in the World / Une Théologie Pour Une Église Dans Le Monde: Mélanges Internationaux Offerts À Gilles Routhier

The diversity of disciplines and topics explored in this book, together with the range of authors from every corner of the globe, bear witness to and show the influence of the theological, academic, and ecclesiastical contributions of Gilles Routhier, dean emeritus of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies of Universit?Laval, and Superior General of the Seminary of Quebec.

Gilles Routhier is a contemporary proponent of a scholarly theology that seeks to reflect on a faith deeply rooted in, and in dialogue with, the culture of its time, particularly intellectual culture. In this regard, he embodies the ideal of the engaged scholar. His work, attentive both to the universal character of the Church and to the global dimension of academic and intellectual endeavors, has reached audiences on every continent. The texts collected in this volume cover all the major areas of Routhier's work, including the history, hermeneutics, and reception of the Second Vatican Council, synodality, practical theology, missiology, and ecclesiology.
