Description: "Divided into two volumes, The Teachings of Modern Christianity on Law, Politics, and Human Nature offers a collection of writings from twenty leading Christian thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and analyses of their work by leading contemporary religious scholars. Volume 2 illustrates the different venues, vectors, and sometimes-conflicting visions of what a Christian understanding of law, politics, and society entails. The collection includes works by popes, pastors, nuns, activists, and theologians writing from within the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian traditions. Addressing racism, totalitarianism, sexism, and other issues, many of the figures in this volume were the victims of either church censure, exile, imprisonment, assassination, or death in Nazi concentration camps."--BOOK JACKET.
