What a gift to the Church by translator and editor, Paul Philibert, as he makes these essays of Yves Congar available in English! The essays gathered here, although written decades ago, are totally applicable today as the Church continues to grapple with a key principle of the Second Vatican Council's teaching that the whole local community of faith is the subject or agent of worship. Philibert gives us both accurate and readable translations of Congar's French while also providing us with sound hermeneutical principles of interpretation in his brilliant Introduction and Conclusion sections. We owe him a great debt of thanks!Gerard Austin, OP Rice School for Pastoral Ministry Arcadia, Florida
