Rezensionen

"In a lucid, challenging manner Bilgrien brings to the fore one of the more innovative dimensions of John Paul II's social teaching. 'Solidarity' is key to an understanding of the Pope's thought on social questions. 'Solidarity' guides us very well through the pathways of John Paul's creative reflections on solidarity. Bilgrien's book is an important new commentary on contemporary Catholic social teaching." (John Pawlikowski, New Theology Review)
"Sister Marie Vianney Bilgrien argues that solidarity is a virtue sorely needed in today's global world. More, she tells us how to achieve it. May her work receive the hearing that it and our children deserve." (Denise Lardner Carmody, Bernard J. Hanley Professor, Department of Religious Studies, Santa Clara University, CA)
