Summary:

This third edition of An Introduction to Canon Law retains the comprehensiveness of the previous two editions while providing updates in the field, especially new resources and current decisions and changes, including those initiated by Pope Francis. It now includes "A Canonical Constitution on the Church." written and compiled at the behest of Pope Paul VI. While never promulgated, it served as a working document for the 1983 revision of the Code. A superb teaching and learning tool, it outlines relatively complex areas of Canon Law, sketches the basic structure and design of the various offices and functions within the Church and how they relate to each other, and gives an orientation to the more important areas of Canon Law, as well as a background and context within which more detailed rules can be understood. Three appendices offer guidance for canonical research and case studies for further discussion. Book jacket.
