With an equal emphasis on every word in the title - and with a
distinctly American perspective - Himes and his distinguished
associate editors and contributors, have assembled the most
thorough and authoritative assessment of modern Roman Catholic
social teaching to date, likely to remain the touchstone volume for
decades. This culmination of many years of effort by twenty stellar
scholars has produced a reference work for anyone interested in
understanding or studying the key documents that comprise the
central corpus of Catholic social teaching. In addition to
interrogations of the major documents, this volume provides an
understanding of the biblical and philosophical foundations of
Catholic social teaching, addresses the doctrinal issues that arise
in such a context, and explores the social thought leading up to
the "modern" era, generally accepted as beginning in 1891 with the
publication of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum. Finally, there is a
review of how Catholic social teaching has been received in the
United States, and an informed look at the shortcomings and
questions that future generations must address. By any standard,
"Modern Catholic Social Teaching" is a remarkable work -
intellectually rigorous and deeply faithful, it provides accessible
and thought-provoking insights into the heart of a belief tradition
that every Catholic will find invaluable.
