Including contributions from twenty-two leading moral theologians,
this volume is the most thorough assessment of modern Roman
Catholic social teaching available. In addition to interrogations
of the major documents, it provides insight into 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, which is generally
accepted as beginning in 1891 with the publication of Pope Leo
XIII's Rerum Novarum. The book also includes a review of how
Catholic social teaching has been received in the United States and
offers an informed look at the shortcomings and questions that
future generations must address. This second edition includes
revised and updated essays as well as two new commentaries: one on
Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Caritas in Veritate and one on Pope
Francis's encyclical Laudato Si'. An outstanding reference work for
anyone interested in studying and understanding the key documents
that make up the central corpus of modern Catholic social teaching.
