Críticas:

. . . worth the money. . . . Save your pennies and buy it.The Canadian Catholic Review

. . . it is a must for any Catholic library and an invaluable teaching resource.The Catholic Worker

From its first pages, this overview of Catholic social thought makes one grateful for the careful and insightful work undertaken; in many ways, this is a testimony to a discipline 'come of age.'America

I really was most impressed with the Dictionary. . . . I think it will fully deserve the kind of rave reviews which greeted its predecessors in the series.Gerard J. Hughes, Chair, Department of Philosophy, Heythrop College, University of London

This is as monumental and as exhaustive as the earlier volumes and equally as valuable.The Priest

The New Dictionary of Catholic Social Thought belongs in all libraries in which there is serious interest in religion in general and contemporary Catholicism in particular.Academic Library Book Review

I thought the volume was simply outstanding. When I received it I could not put it down, but kept on reading and reading. I found so many of the articles to be interesting and exciting. With the plethora of dictionaries around, I think this is one of the finest and most readable.Francis Schüssler Fiorenza, Stillman Professor of Roman Catholic Theological Studies, Harvard Divinity School

Reseña del editor:

An alphabetical reference containing substantial, signed articles that present and analyze the major modern social encyclicals, from Leo XIII's Rerum novarum to John Paul II's Centesimus annus , and inspect central movements, figures, and themes that have been the hallmark of Catholic social thought for over a hundred years. Attempting also to indicate the manifold social dimensions of the various moral issues that confront humanity, the Dictionary addresses such topics as abortion, homosexuality, birth control, and euthanasia, in order to emphasize that no issue is purely "sexual" or "biomedical."
