 General Description:

Fr. Rodger Charles, S.J.

This work distills Fr. Rodger Charles' extensive knowledge of the social teaching of the Catholic Church into an introductory outline of its principles. It has been written especially for use as preliminary reading material for those studying the Church's teaching in this area, but will also serve equally well as a general introduction to the ethics of decision making in the civic, political, and economic spheres of human society.

The social teaching of the Church usually refers to modern documents, but there is social teaching in the Scriptures, and this teaching has developed within the tradition of the Church. Charles gives an overview of the evolution of social teachings. He quotes liberally from Church social documents, and adds an introduction and commentary to each section of this book.

"Fr. Rodger Charles has admirably succeeded in presenting the key elements of papal teaching and that of Vatican II on the relation between faith and society. This is a thoughtful and most helpful reflection on the Church's social teaching."
—Francis Cardinal George, Archbishop of Chicago

"This introduction by Fr. Rodger Charles is a great achievement in its brevity, readability, and reliability. It will be warmly welcomed both by those coming to the subject for the first time and by scholars who will appreciate the clarity of its presentation of familiar truths."
—Fr. Richard Neuhaus, Editor, First Things
