Preaching JusticePreaching Justice: DOMINICAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIAL ETHICS IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Edited by Francesco Compagnoni OP
and Helen Alford OP
Preface by Gustavo Gutiérrez OP

 

Preaching Justice covers the work of over 30 individual Dominicans, friars and laity, across the troubled period of the twentieth century – ranging from friars who went down the mines in the early 1900s, through lay Dominican artists who developed radical social aesthetics, to a friar  who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1958; and on to those who resisted  totalitarian communism in Eastern Europe, military dictatorship in Brazil, and structural sin in South Africa,

Preaching Justice looks also at major social theorists, like Arthur Utz, Louis-Joseph Lebret, and Edward Krapiec

The Dominicans discussed here were deeply involved in all the major political and socio-economic issues of their day.


WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT PREACHING JUSTICE

‘As a Jesuit, I cannot but be amazed by the monumental scope of this project. Not only does this text document the contributions of Dominicans to Social Ethics in the twentieth century; more importantly, it traces with clarity and creativity the evolution of Catholic Social Thought in varied concrete contexts across the globe: a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy and relevance of the Dominican charism in contemporary Church and society.’
