I have gone through this work by Rev. Fr. Dr. Nicholas Okpe, titled: Human and Societal Development in the Light of the Second Vatican Council". The book is largely from the perspective of Catholic Social Theology treating issues of Justice, Devlopment and Peace with the Document "Gadium et Spes" constituting the focus of discussion; This book is clearly a masterpiece.
