Overview

Cohesive collection of recent essays by Hollenbach on political and social affairs, with three foci: faith and the Catholic tradition in politics; the role of the church in American public life; and global challenges and ethics. The final chapter, "Global Faiths, Cultures, and Global Ethics," was written for this book. The author of several books on ethics, including Catholicism and Liberalism (Cambridge 1994) and The Common Good and Christian Ethics (Cambridge, 2002), Hollenbach is noted for his emphasis on recognizing and appreciating religious pluralism. He is convinced that religious traditions can find common ground through the use of rights and rights language--not always a popular position among religionists--and this book reinforces his commitment to confronting such issues as poverty & economic development, globalism, and interreligious dialogue.
