A Place at the Table: Justice for the Poor in a Land of Plenty

Dr. Brady skillfully synthesizes information on poverty, approaches to poverty in the U.S., justice in the biblical and social sense, how poverty is addressed in Church documents, the ways that Catholic Church leadership has advocated for the poor, theological reflection based on liberation theologies, and finally ways to encourage the growth of justice as a primary focus in education. This is a powerful exploration of how to share a place at the table of life with those who struggle daily with poverty. Highly recommended for students of Catholic Social Teaching and Poverty and Justice Studies.
