"Renowned Franciscan theologian Kenan B. Osborne brings all three of the holy orders of the church - the diaconate, the presbyterate, and the episcopate - into focus through the lens of post-Vatican II sacramental and systematic theology. Osborne posits that one cannot study the renewed permanent diaconate in the Roman Catholic Church without understanding the renewal of the order of priests and bishops as well. This is a guide to grasping the essence of Vatican II, as well as the basis for the restoration of the diaconate in the Latin Church."--BOOK JACKET.
