Essential Catholic Social Thought

Accessible in style and designed for a one-semester course, this book presents the principles of Catholic social thought, describes their historical development, and includes abridged excerpts of relevant documents. Each chapter includes study-discussion questions and prayers from the Catholic tradition. In the words of Brady, the Catholic social tradition "aims to reach the hearts and the minds of persons.... It seeks personal conversion and social transformation."
