| Summary: | This volume of 12 essays is the second in a projected series of four publications emerging from a recent research project into the ‘potential for a dialogue between the Church Fathers and Catholic social thought’ organized by the Centre for Catholic Social Thought at Leuven (p. vii). The book takes as its starting-point the recognition that much Catholic Social Teaching (CST) as it has developed from the late nineteenth century onwards draws upon a limited range of patristic texts in a manner which strips citations of their context and manipulates them with scant regard for the complexities of either the texts themselves or the social issues which they addressed. |
