An introduction to Catholic social teaching, including the recent encyclicals of Benedict XVI, that focuses on the spirit of Catholic social thought and its application in our twenty-first century.

Each chapter identifies key documents and explores their meaning and how they are applied today. Stories of key practitioners include figures ranging from Cesar chavez and Mother Teresa to the Berrigans, Bill and Melinda Gates, Bono an Joan Chittister.
