"The book is clearly structured, and covers a great deal of ground ... There are articles on spirituality; a splendid piece by Duncan Forrester on a comparison of Protestant thought; and a critical piece by one of the well-known Asian liberation theologians, Tissa Balasuriya, on Pope Benedict's Deus Caritas Est." - Church Times

'This collection of fourteen essays originated from the UK charity, Caritas Social Action. The first half of the book focuses on 'theological explorations in social justice and social spirituality', while the latter half turns to 'the practice of social spirituality'. Although socially located in Catholic Christianity in Britain the contributors are ecumenical and international, thus promising a wide exploration of the theology and practice of social justice in the twenty-first century.'

"Seldom have I been both encouraged and challenged as much as I have by this collection of essays which were inspired by Pope Benedict XVI through his first Encyclical Letter, Deus Caritas Est, and motivated by the Roman Catholic Church's social agency, Caritas Social Action. ... Each of the essays of these fourteen contributors, who also include Jim Richards, Sir Stephen Wall, Bernard Hoose, Jayne Hoose, Philomena Cullen, and Sheila Cassidy, is worthy of serious study and I heartily commend this book, regardless of one's denominational affiliation." --Brian L.
