Catholic Social Justice -
Theological and Practical Explorations
 |
This refreshing collection of essays, published in association with CSAN (the Catholic Church's agency for social justice) draws together a distinguished panel of academics and practitioners involved in the area of social justice. Combining theory and practice, the diverse and thought-provoking contributions explore issues facing the church and its role in contemporary society and the relationship between Theology, Social Justice and Social Spirituality.
Catholic Social Justice raises valuable questions related to the nature of social ethics and social spirituality today. The book examines how the church identifies its social priorities today, allocates its resources, shapes, facilitates and governs its practices, relates to and seeks to influence civil and secular society. Particular problems and challenges pose pertinent questions - both in relation to the church and society - and these also demand particular theological reflection, dialogue and exploration. Such themes include human liberation and freedom, globalisation, marginalisation, the changing anthropological bases of social ethics, as well as theological attempts to understand how the worlds of work and leisure relate to human beings in both individual and communal contexts.
The book is edited by:
Philomena Cullen, Director, The Irish Chaplaincy in Britain
Bernard Hoose, Lecturer in Christian Ethics at Heythrop College, University of London
Gerard Mannion, Associate Professor in Theology and Religious Studies at Liverpool Hope University
