| A CATHOLIC VISION HB Hardback book with Dust Jacket by Stephen Happel and David Tracy Foreword by Carl Hermann Voss Over 195 pages Copyright © 1984 by FORTRESS PRESS " Authors Stephen Happel and David Tracy- both well-known Catholic theologians - unveil a meaningful interpretation of Catholic identity which underscores the worldwide emergence of a distinctive structure of Catholicism.
They support their picture of modern Catholicism with comprehensive historical research covering the biblical centuries, the patristic centuries, and the Middle Ages, as well as more recent Catholic movements.
The authors believe that the cumulative effects of the major developments in Catholic history are reflected in the contemporary community of believers;
they illustrate this belief through an integration of culture, art, and theology.
