Rezensionen

This invaluable reference tool is essential for those seeking a clear and comprehensive introduction to Catholic social thought, as well as a Catholic-informed social-science and social-policy perspective on these and countless other subjects. The Catholic Answer This book is a valuable summary and scholarly examination of this major, crucial social document of the Catholic Church. It explores, with considerable thoroughness, the Compendium's content, sources, perspectives, and the questions it discusses. It is certain to become a standard in the literature on the Compendium. -- Stephen M. Krason, Society of Catholic Social Scientists
