This accessible introduction covers the complete history and
contemporary contexts of the church's involvement in Catholic
social tradition, giving distinctive attention to the Bible,
liturgy, the thought of Augustine and Aquinas, and recent
theological developments.
Bringing together veteran teachers of Catholic Social Teaching who
have worked together on the content, this book is designed to set
social questions within the Catholic tradition and contemporary
life. End-of-chapter application sections address practical
concerns, such as racism in the church, charity, consumerism, and
talking with neighbors and coworkers about moral issues. Discussion
questions, case studies, excerpts of church documents, and
suggestions for further reading enhance the book's usefulness. It
will work well for students of theology and ethics, particularly
Catholics but also Protestants who want to know more about the
Catholic social tradition.
