Lexington Books, 2015. Print. (Online availability)

In this book, Bringham brings to light two important impacts of Vatican II. What the Council intended to achieve and how that has shaped the role of the Church in the modern world. It offers a useful analysis of the impacts of Gaudium et Spes and provides one other perspective on the document’s significance today.

Cordileone, Salvatore. The Second Vatican Council : the Four Constitutions : Sacrosanctum Concilium,

Lumen Gentium, Dei Verbum, Gaudium et Spes. San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2014. Print.

Similar to Pope Benedict’s writing, this piece by Cordileone offers yet another insight into Gaudium et Spes. However, this goes more into the granular details that will help to fill the content gap of the lack of information on the substance of Gaudium et Spes.

Erhueh, Anthony O. Vatican II : Image of God in Man : an Inquiry into the Theological Foundations and

Significance of Human Dignity in the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World,

“Gaudium et Spes”. Rome: Urbaniana University Press, 1987. Print.

Eruheh’s writing is heavily based upon the background of the creation of Gaudium et Spes and how that has shaped the way the Church interacts with the world today. As such, the book provides essential information to filling the content gap behind the creation of the constitution as well as offering yet another perspective on how the document is acted upon today.

Lambino, Antonio B. Freedom in Vatican II : the Theology of Liberty in Gaudium et Spes. Manila:

Loyola House of Studies, Ateneo de Manila University, 1974. Print.

One of the central tenets of Gaudium et Spes is its themes. Labino here analyzes the theme of theological liberty present throughout Gaudium et Spes. As such, this piece will help to fill the overview section as it currently lacks any description of overarching ideas in the constitution.

Lawler, Michael G. The Church in the Modern World : Gaudium et Spes Then and Now. Collegeville,

Minnesota: Liturgical Press, 2014. Print.

Lawler’s writing focuses on the role of the Church at the time of the second Vatican council and its role today. These roles are drastically different and the book will help to fill the content gap on the background of Gaudium et Spes as well as offering another perspective on its impacts today.

McEvoy, James. "Church and World at the Second Vatican Council: The Significance of Gaudium Et

Spes." Pacifica : Journal of the Melbourne College of Divinity 19.1 (2006): 37-57. ProQuest.

Web. 15 Nov. 2020.

McEvoy, in his book, delves deep into the profound impact of Gaudium et Spes since it marked a sharp departure from the way the church viewed itself and operated in the world at the time. Having such a piece helps to further strengthen the background section of the Wikipedia article as it is crucial to understand why the church made such a large departure from the norm at Vatican II.

McGinley, Dugan. “Dialogue and the Spirit of Vatican II: Reading Gaudium et Spes Fifty Years Later.”

Journal of ecumenical studies 50.1 (2015): 105–111. Web.

McGinley systematically goes through the long lasting impacts of Gaudium et Spes while also placing the document in the modern setting. Doing so creates a unique perspective on how the document is still applicable today and provides another perspective on how the document is perceived in the modern world.

Sheridan, Sean. “Gaudium Et Spes: The Development and Implementation of the Church’s Role in

Evangelization in the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World.” The Jurist (Washington) 71.1 (2011): 91–119. Web.

Sheridan takes one aspect of the Gaudium et Spes, Evangelization, and follows how the church committed to the idea since Vatican II. This fills another content gap on the long lasting impact of Gaudium et Spes on the role of the Church today.\

Weaver, Darlene Fozard. The Church and Human Freedom : Forty Years after Gaudium et Espes.

Villanova, Pa: Villanova University Press, 2006. Print.

Weaver’s analysis of Gaudium et Spes delves into the commitment of the Church to human freedom that it made in Gaudium et Spes. Specifically, Weaver looks a dogma and the actions the Church has taken since Vatican II. This fills a content gap on the other overarching theme of Gaudium et Spes on human freedom.

Wilkins, Mark M. "THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD: Gaudium Et Spes, Inter Mirifica." St.Anthony

Messenger 11 2005: 52. ProQuest. Web. 15 Nov. 2020.

This article analyzes the relationship of the Church and the modern world through the lense created by Gaudium et Spes. I included this piece to gain an additional perspective on how the church operates in relation to the commitments it made in the constitution.

Xavier, Joseph. “Theological Anthropology of ‘Gaudium et Spes’ and Fundamental Theology.”

Gregorianum 91.1 (2010): 124–136. Print. (Online availability)

This section taken from Gregorianum by Xavier goes into depth about the theological background of Gaudium et Spes rather than the circumstantial background discussed before. This would help fill the content gap of the theological background of the constitution as it was written during Vatican II.
