This introduction is informed by the author's engagement with the scholarly literature, his long teaching experience, and his wise responses to current debates. This will be valuable in college classrooms, parish discussion groups, and interfaith community organizations."---David O'Brien, College of the Holy Cross/University of Dayton

A fine companion to his earlier work, Justice and Peace: A Christian Primer."---Judith A. Merkle, SNDdeN, Niagara University
