Rooted in the life and ministry of Jesus and the message of the New Testament, the Church proclaims: 'Justice is constitutive of the Gospel.' Building upon the broad tradition of Catholic social teaching, this third book in our popular Come & See Series offers a fresh discussion of contemporary issues (disarmament, human rights, the option for the poor). Through Scripture, Tradition, world events, and living examples of heroism and holiness ranging from the simple to the extraordinary, Living Justice develops your understanding of Catholic social teaching and inspires you for service.
Massaro provides a necessary companion text to any course that deals with issues of social justice, the role of the Church in the modern world, or the relationship between religion and public policy. It is simultaneously academically rigorous and easily accessible to students. Broad, honest, and practical, it serves a variety of courses and invites much needed dialogue between religion that has become increasingly privatized in the public square. -- Brian Scott, Catholic Memorial School
Massaro's revised edition of Living Justice, featuring updated information, expanded topics, and fuller explanations of key themes in Catholic Social Thought, greatly enhances its usefulness as an admirable and excellent college-level textbook. The added list of 'topics for future study' poses a challenge to all seeking to plunge more deeply into this vital realm of Catholic social thought. -- Normand J. Paulhus, Wheeling Jesuit University
