Foreword by Archbishop Philip Wilson
(President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference)
THE MOST COMPLETE BOOK ON SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CHRISTIAN
Humans are made in God's image, Christians
believe. As beings of immense value, they possess objective worth and
inalienable rights. Since society is made for humans, economic and political
arrangements must respect human rights, from the right to life to the rights to
education, association and free expression. In this collection, experts
consider the full range of rights that go to make up a free society fit for a
full human life. They apply to current Australian conditions the insights of
Catholic social thinking, a perspective both older than the competing
ideologies of socialism and capitalism and more in accordance with the real
world of the new century.
