A highly readable survey of Catholic social justice from Genesis to Solidarity, written against the author's autobiographical background of the changing South from the fifties to the eighties.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This volume, written for the centennial of modern Catholic social teaching, explores the relationship between faith and justice, the backgrounds of Catholic social teaching, and the forces which have shaped the author's own awareness, from his childhood in the South to his development as a Jesuit. Kammer sees a close relationship between private ownership and a neglect of God and human community; he finds this connection both in biblical example and in contemporary society. He proclaims that doing justice is a prerequisite to knowing God, that solidarity with the poor is the Christian stance, and that Christians must move from charity to justice. He concludes with specific suggestions for "faithjustice" and for parish evaluation of its own social ministry. Written from a Roman Catholic standpoint but useful for all religious groups concerned with social justice. Highly recommended for seminary and public libraries.
