Title: The World as It Could Be
Description: Providing insight and into the world's most pressing concerns--those of human dignity and rights, globalization, religious liberty and world peace--bestselling author and Theologian Thomas D. Williams adds his reassuring voice to the panoply of issues that engage Christians in the public sphere. One of the most trusted and dynamic voices from the Catholic community, Dr. Williams helps Catholics step back from today's controversies and understand Catholic teachings in a deeper way. Addressing the most heated debates ripped from national headlines and fervently discussed among Catholics--from abortion and capital punishment to global governance to the economy--Dr. Williams draws upon his years of teaching and research in this sophisticated yet accessible analysis of the moral dilemmas and political challenges that Catholics face every day. Examining these moral conflicts, and the often opposing forces of individual rights versus those of the community, Dr. Williams speaks to Catholics and non-Catholic alike in this examination of the Catholic faith, its influence in the world, and what it teaches millions of followers regarding social justice.
