Despite growing scepticism concerning the evidentiary value of normative legal sources, scholars continue to mine the legislative acts of ecclesiastical councils for insight into political, religious, and quotidian life in Frankish Gaul. Between the reigns of Clovis and Charlemagne (AD 511-768) at least eighty councils assembled, often on royal command, to discuss issues of concern to the episcopal and clerical attendees. Their published canons were intended to communicate ecclesiastical policy in the Frankish regnum. However, scholars have paid comparatively slight attention to the institution responsible for this body of legislation. This book remedies this lacuna by delineating the functions and modus operandi of the Frankish church council as an administrative body.

"Le concile Vatican II (1962-1965) est certainement un épisode marquant de l'histoire de l'Église catholique. On lui reproche toutefois d'avoir laissé de côté « l'autre moitié de l'Église », les femmes. Or, ce n'est pas le cas. En prenant pour exemple les centaines de femmes actives au sein des communautés religieuses de l'archidiocèse de Montréal, l'auteur démontre que ces dernières se sont lancées dans un processus de réception conciliaire en espérant redéfinir leur héritage, vivre une expérience libératrice et poser les jalons d'un nouveau projet collectif. Grâce à des sources inédites, cet ouvrage permettra aux lecteurs de mieux saisir le processus d'appropriation de l'événement et des textes conciliaires par les religieuses et de revisiter une période riche d'espoirs et de turbulences."--Page 4 de la couverture.

In this study, Ramsay MacMullen steps aside from the well-worn path that previous scholars have trod to explore exactly how early Christian doctrines became official. Drawing on extensive verbatim stenographic records, he analyzes the ecumenical councils from A.D. 325 to 553, in which participants gave authority to doctrinal choices by majority vote.The author investigates the sometimes astonishing bloodshed and violence that marked the background to church council proceedings, and from there goes on to describe the planning and staging of councils, the emperors' role, the routines of debate, the participants' understanding of the issues, and their views on God's intervention in their activities. He concludes with a look at the significance of the councils and their doctrinal decisions within the history of Christendom.

This volume describes and maps congregations of Christian confessions and denominations, as well as groups with Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, and various other spiritual faiths, in different European countries. Consisting of three parts, it presents concrete sociological studies addressing how established and not established, old and new congregations of various faiths create a new kind of religious diversity at the country level; how religious congregations are challenged and thrive in large cities; and how religious congregations change in the 21st century. The book enlightens by its descriptive analysis and the theoretical questions it raises concerning the religious transformations happening all over Europe. It addresses issues of religious diversity in the cities of Europe by presenting large studies conducted in cities such as Barcelona in Spain, and Aarhus in Denmark. By means of large-scale censuses taken in areas such as North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany and in countries like Switzerland and Italy, the book shows how the historically established churches restructure their congregations and activities. It clarifies for the new gatherers where and how a new diversity of religious congregations is in the process of being established. Finally, the book covers two important topical issues: pluralisation and secularisation. It provides new data on religious diversity, painting a new picture of secularisation: the impact and structural consequences of the long-term decrease of membership in the established churches.

In 'Vatican II', an international team of theologians challenges the standard view of the Council as causing a rupture with earlier Catholic teaching. They argue the The Council was indeed putting forth a vision for the future of the Church, but that vision was grounded in two millennia of tradition.
