Historia Magna, 2025

In 1987, the Catholic Church reached a crucial turning point in its understanding of itself—the very essence of its nature, mission, and leadership was rigorously re-examined by bishops from around the world in a landmark Synod that reshaped ecclesiology for decades to come. Key Doctrinal Developments on Catholic Ecclesiology in the Year 1987 offers the first comprehensive exploration of this pivotal moment, revealing how the Church reaffirmed its identity as the People of God, the Body of Christ, and the sacrament of salvation, while navigating the delicate balance between papal primacy and episcopal collegiality. Ollie Newman masterfully unpacks the theological foundations, historical contexts, and pastoral challenges that defined the 1987 Synod, providing rich insights into the evolving role of bishops, the dynamic participation of the laity, and the Church's commitment to unity amid growing global diversity. With deep analysis of Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterial teachings, this volume illuminates the complex relationship between tradition and modernity, authority and service, unity and cultural plurality. Ideal for scholars, clergy, and informed readers alike, this authoritative study not only chronicles a defining chapter in modern Church history but also offers critical reflections for anyone interested in how the Catholic Church continues to understand and live out its mission in a rapidly changing world. Discover the roots of today's ecclesial conversations and the enduring legacy of the 1987 Synod that continue to inspire and challenge the Church's path forward.
