Young theologians from several countries and multiple areas of theology offer hopeful insights on the future of ethics, dialogue, ecclesiology, liturgy and ministry.

Fifty years after the Second Vatican Council, emerging theologians are in a unique position to offer hopeful visions for the next fifty years of the Church in light of the pressing internal and external challenges it faces today. Rooted in the texts of Vatican II and a commitment to the church, Visions of Hope brings together the research of leading young scholars around five important topics: dialogue, ecclesiology, ethics, liturgy and ministry.

These ideas represent the future shape of the Church because they are from the theologians who are planting the seminal ideas of Church.
