Gavin D'Costa is Professor of Catholic Theology at the University of Bristol and has advised the Vatican and the English and Welsh Catholic Church and the English Anglican Church on interreligious dialogue. His publications include The Second Vatican Council: Celebrating its Achievements and the Future (Bloomsbury, 2013) and Religion in a Liberal State (Cambridge University Press, 2013).
[S]cholars will be grateful to D'Costa for much scrupulous sifting
that leads to judicious conclusions.
*Michael Barnes SJ, Theology*
Gavin D'Costa has given us a painstakingly exhaustive analysis of
the documents of the Second Vatican Council related to the Catholic
Churchs view of non-baptized persons and, more specifically, of
Jews and Muslims....he has a great deal to say of importance to
anyone committed to Jewish-Catholic relations today. ...he has done
Catholics (and Jews) a service by offering us this careful textual
analysis that calls the conclusions of some other Catholic thinkers
into question.
*James Frederic, Studies in Jewish-Christian Relationships*
His welcome and timely study of the teaching of the Vatican Council
about other religions, especially Judaism and Islam, must become
standard reading for anyone who wants to consider what the texts
for the Council say and how this relates to the debate over
discontinuity and continuity.
*Martin Ganeri, New Blackfriars*
This clear and well-organized volume draws on an admirable amount
of research in the primary and secondary sources.
*Gerald O'Collins, Theological Studies*
What D'C. writes about historical, literary, and theological
hermeneutics repays study.
