Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“These stimulating essays draw on the central biblical image of covenant to argue that human freedom and social connectedness can be mutually supportive, not opposed. They . . . argue that the covenant that can link us to God and one another sheds ethical light on practical areas ranging from family life . . . to the struggle against racism and pursuit of post-conflict reconciliation. A valuable contribution that can guide our divided society to greater mutual respect and solidarity.”
Created Freedom under the Sign of the Cross
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“DeCosse presents a much-needed alternative to the individualistic understandings of freedom so influential in the US today. Genuine freedom is sustained by human relationships, embedded in social history, and ultimately supported by the loving presence of God. A fine contribution to public theology in the Catholic tradition.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The authors in this valuable book contribute to the advancement of Catholic social thought on sustainable development from many countries in all the continents of our world. They propose new ways to address urgent global environmental and political challenges, building on Pope Francis's challenge to accept the fact that we share a common home on the earth.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“A creative contribution to the urgent ethical challenges raised by migration today. Drawing on social analysis and Christian thought, Rajendra shows that treating migrants justly will require rethinking and reshaping the social, political, and economic relationships that set the context for the movement of people today. Essential reading for all concerned with ethics and migration.”
Philosophy
“This fine study embodies just the right combination of the humility and conviction necessary for an authentically Christian contribution to public life. Its analysis of our social situation is illuminating, and its recommendations provide a compelling alternative to the twin dangers of cynicism and fanaticism that make the commonweal so difficult to sustain today.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Bergman argues that preventing unjust wars requires more people with the moral strength to resist the lure of power and illusory success that war often promises. He presents social, philosophical, and religious grounds for the right to selective conscientious objection to unjust wars, and he shows the importance of communities that nurture those with the depth needed to say no. A valuable and timely book. Read it.”
The World Market and Interreligious Dialogue
World Religions
“This probing study of the interaction between religion and economics is urgently needed. It makes a unique contribution. Not since the work of Max Weber has the question received the intellectual attention it clearly deserves in our world marked by deep inequalities between rich and poor. This book raises challenging questions and proposes stimulating solutions that will demand equally serious exploration in the years ahead.”
