In his new book, Rekindling the Christic Imagination: Theological Meditations for the New Evangelization (Liturgical Press), Father Robert P. Imbelli uses artistic, literary, spiritual and theological sources to place Christ at the center of Catholic faith. This, he says, was the vision of the Second Vatican Council,  a message that was overshadowed by ecclesial and cultural factors. Fr. Imbelli is an associate professor emeritus in Boston College’s Theology Department.
