General Description:

In this new book, American Catholicism's premier public intellectual presents his most influential writings on today's pressing global issues. Weigel makes an eloquent case for democratic structures, just war, and the central role of reason in an irrational world. With his coinciding book on Jihadism (Doubleday) being an urgent manifesto for measures against the violent forms of Islam, here Weigel presents his broader, comprehensive vision of the distinctively Catholic response to all threats against human dignity.

About the author: George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, is a Catholic theologian and one of America's leading public intellectuals. A native of Baltimore, he was educated at St. Mary's Seminary College in his native city, and at the University of St. Michael's College in Toronto. He is the author, or editor, of over 20 books most on the themes of Catholic Social Teaching and Religion in Democracy.

Weigel has been awarded ten honorary doctorates, the papal cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, and the Gloria Artis Gold Medal by the Republic of Poland. He serves on the boards of directors of several organizations dedicated to human rights and the cause of religious freedom and is a member of the editorial board of First Things.

George Weigel and his wife, Joan, have three children and one grandchild, and live in North Bethesda, Maryland.
