Description: "In this revised edition of a longtime best-seller, lawyer, activist and Jesuit priest Fred Kammer ushers Catholics into the twenty-first century as he confronts the challenge of human poverty and injustice in the context of our consumer-driven, economically fragile world." "He explores the biblical grounding for this virtue and provides an overview of its historical development in the Catholic community. However, he also presents its contemporary meaning, grounds each chapter in specific times and places, and concludes with a framework of living faithjustice in our time." "This revised edition contains new materials on recent social teaching documents of the church, updated economic and social data and analysis, and - at the request of users of the original volume - questions for reflection and renewal at the end of each chapter."--BOOK JACKET.
