Catholic Social Teaching
Revised Edition
This new edition of the balanced and comprehensive study of Catholic social teaching features new material on colonialism, decolonisation and on the concept of development. A length new chapter covers the period 1982-92 and includes an extended treatment of the two social encyclicals Sollicitudo Rei Socialis and Centesimus Annus as well as a shorter account of the encyclical Redemptoris Missio, the two Vatican documents on Liberation Theology, the papal documents on ecology and women and a variety of other material. The new final chapter assesses the strengths and weaknesses of Catholic social teaching and suggests directions for future development.
