Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“A valuable study of the U.S. Catholic bishops' pastoral on economic justice in the context of the debate in the American Catholic Church, the tradition of Catholic social teaching, and the progressive ideas of contemporary political economy. An interesting and useful book for Christians who love justice and for critical, secular Americans in search of an ethic of solidarity.”
Theology
“This brilliant theological essay on God and evil, faithful to the gospel, and in solidarity with sufferers and victims, offers a moving invitation to mourn, to act, and to hope.”
History & Biography
“This interesting historical investigation of the exclusion and participation of women at the Vatican Council reveals the dynamics of communication within the Church, including its systematic distortions and the forgiving fidelity of dedicated women. I am glad that this book has been written.”
Judaism, Christianity, and Liberation
World Religions
“I recommend this interesting and disturbing book which calls for a new dialogue between Christians and Jews on the meaning of justice and compassion in today's world. . . . The discordant voices presented are masterfully analyzed in a final chapter in a final chapter by Marc Ellis.”
Theology
“'Liberating Grace' is an important book on God's presence to human life that relates the new liberationist perspective to the best of the great theological tradition. The author unfolds the meaning of Christian grace in the light of the Latin American experience of dependency and exploitation. He shows that the turn to political involvement does not produce a detachment from the religious roots.”
Liberation Theology and Its Critics
Theology
“"This is a very important book. It is the first study of Latin American liberation theology that examines the theological literature from a political-science perspective. . . . The study of the political implications of liberation theology and the debates surrounding it is enormously important.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Russell Daye's study of forgiveness and reconciliation in South Africa makes an important contribution to the theory and practice of conflict resolution, a field that is becoming increasingly relevant in today's troubled world.”
Theology
“In this book Douglas Hall presents the outline of a Canadian theology. . . . People hope that things will get better and better. . . . Douglas Hall contrasts this cultural optimism with Christian hope. . . . He argues that the divine promises do not assure us of progress in history; what they offer us instead is a qualitative transformation of society . . . hope for Canada.”
