Social Analysis for the 21st Century: How Faith Becomes Action

By Maria Cimperman

Book Overview

A revision of Social Analysis: Linking Faith and Justice (Holland/Henriot, 1983), an Orbis classic that has sold over 40,000 copies, this book fills the ongoing need for the tools of social analysis and the "pastoral circle" approach of see/judge/act, but with updated language and areas of concern. Like its predecessor, it will be a valuable resource for seminaries, divinity schools, college classrooms, and immersion groups.The book presents the basic tools of social analysis before moving on to four specific case studies: the environment, immigration, homelessness, and HIV/AIDS. Reproducible worksheets (of the type used everywhere in Theological Reflection courses) will be included for group work.Includes a foreword by Peter Henriot, which will establish continuity with the classic Holland/Henriot text.
