The Challenge and Spirituality of Catholic Social Teaching

How to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ, the glad tidings to the poor. An exploration of Catholic social teaching that focuses on its spirituality and the challenges that it poses to Christians today. After the introduction and a general chapter on the prophetic nature of Catholic social teaching, Mich presents seven additional chapters, each on a specific theme within Catholic social teaching: valuing all creation, human dignity, the need for community, the option for the poor, human rights and responsibilities, the dignity of work, and the need for solidarity (issues of war and peace).
