This book by José Ignacio González Faus explores the history of episcopal elections in the Church, focusing on the elective principle of bishops by the people of God in the early centuries. The author argues that the history of the Church is an important theological place for ecclesiology and that the book's conclusions are dogmatic and seek fidelity to the origins. It examines how the later stratified Church abandoned this principle, leaving the election in the hands of the clergy and political authorities, and how Vatican II sought to recover the freedom of the Church to advance towards communion and equality in the people of God.
