The volume examines Metropolitan Maxim Hermaniuk's influential role during the Second Vatican Council, offering readers insight into how Eastern and Western Christian traditions navigated profound theological and institutional changes.
Through essays by respected international scholars, the book explores the unique position of the Ukrainian Greco-Catholic Church during this transformative period.
