Catholic Social Teaching as Theology

Mehr zum Buch

Catholic social teaching is not merely a moral reflection deriving from dogmatic faith discourses but is in itself theological and offers a particular entry point for the endeavor of a reasoned discourse about the divine and its relation to humanity. From the notion of the imago Deito Jesus's great commission to love one's neighbor, from New Testament teachings to the writings of great theologians such as Augustine or Aquinas, this ethical reflection shaped by the Christian faith finds support and illumination in the Bible and theological traditions.
