Dorothy Day for Armchair Theologians

History & Biography

“Hinson-Hasty skillfully masters this significant contribution to the Armchair Theologians series. For many who are already acquainted with Day’s life and work, this volume invites a deeper appreciation for the complexities of Day’s pacifist stance throughout the tumultuous history of the twentieth century, while making her life and work relevant for today’s challenges. With vast referencing that goes beyond previous biographies of Day, this volume is a gift to all generations seeking to truly engage this modern social mystic.”

The Ivory Tower and the Sword

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Pinon's solid exploration of Francisco Vitoria's heritage offers a bold challenge to current discourse on the relationship of law, empire, and revolution. His careful yet accessible rehearsal of Vitoria's legal and scholastic appeals to the rule of law in defense of the indigenous, just war theory, the law of nations, and state rulers as responsible for the common good, recovers key tools for political and ethical reflection today. Those concerned with the struggle for justice will gain insight into the role of the legal order in social transformation.”
