La recezione della Lumen gentium nella manualistica ecclesiologica recente.

The aim of this contribution is to investigate the reception of Lumen gentium in some manuals of ecclesiology recently available in Italian, specially as far as their methodological approach is concerned. The research shows how the contents of the Constitution are extensively dealt with in the works examined but each of them uses a different hermeneutic approach to the council document. This lets us think that the Council is now considered more as a start than as a point of arrival in the theological reflection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
