In these pages, therefore, one will not find the exciting theses of innovative individuals. If there is excitement here, it lies in the discovery that even in our contemporary situation it is possible to say something together despite all our differences and take part together in a further exploration of the one faith of the Church. All the texts that follow are the fruit of a long and often difficult dialogue. In that dialogue, various disciplines, methods, and ways of thought found a common path. Over and above that, the wider dialogue of theologians with the bishops, as well as between bishops and the Petrine office in the Church, has found a voice.
