The Second Vatican Council

A journey spanning 60 years: the history of the conciliar declaration "Nostra aetate", which opened the way to interreligious dialogue, retraced through the words of the document, the speeches, and the gestures of successive Popes - from Saint John Paul II&rsquos visits to Rome's Synagogue and the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, to Pope Francis' journeys to Ur of the Chaldeans in Iraq and to Mongolia.
