"Walking Together: The Way of Synodality is an elegant compendium of Pope Francis's commentary on and explanations of synodal discernment during his pontificate. The collection is a unique tool for learning about synodal discernment and presents a roadmap by which the People of God can walk together well into the promising futures of the Catholic Churches." --Phyllis Zagano, Senior Research Associate-in-Residence and Adjunct Professor of Religion, Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York "This book is essential lexicon, an indispensable guide to understand Francis' view of synodality and the ongoing "synodal process" through the pope's own words. It demonstrates that a theology of the synodal church runs deep in Francis' pontificate from the very beginning, and the synodality is coessential with this key moment in the life of the Church." --Prof. Dr. Massimo Faggioli, Professor of Historical Theology Villanova University, Dept. of Theology and Religious Studies "This timely book provides an invaluable resource guide for church leaders, students, and all those seeking to understand and participate in the shared journey that is synodality.

By bringing together the key teachings of Pope Francis on the topic, Walking Together helps to illuminate both the sources and future directions of the synodal process. Readers can discover how the pope's understanding of this way of being church has developed over the first decade of his pontificate and what this means for the 2021-2024 synodal process." --Kevin Ahern, Manhattan College, former president of ICMICA-Pax Romana.
