The Catholic Church in its social teaching has consistently rooted its mission in the dignity of the human person created in the image of God. For three years Catholic scholars from various disciplines participated in a seminar on human dignity. The fruits of their conversation are presented in this engaging and readable collection.
Ideal for college courses on religious and social issues or adult education groups, the essays in this volume are also useful for personal study.
