The Challenge and Spirituality of Catholic Social Teaching

Offers readers the insight and inspiration to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ, the "glad tidings to the poor," here and now.

This exploration of Catholic social teaching focuses on its basic principles and the challenges they pose to Christians today. In this revised and updated edition, Mich highlights the key themes of Catholic social teaching-valuing all creation, the dignity of all human being, the need for community, the option for the poor, the importance of human rights and responsibilities, the dignity of work, and the need for solidarity-and their relevance for today's world.
