Fergus Kerr gives us a very much needed overview of twentieth century Catholic theology both before and after Vatican II. It is especially needed because too many, on both the theological "left" and "right," tend to distort the state of the Church at the time of Vatican II. On the one hand, theological liberals often tend to view the state of the Church as dire just before Vatican II. On the other hand, some theological traditionalists tend to view the Church just before Vatican II as being a utopia. Neither caricature is accurate. Kerr gives us the balance that comes from seeking out history, instead of making it up for ideological reasons. Especially good is Kerr's treatment of the great French theologians who were intent on the reform of the Church before Vatican II.
