Preaching the Just Word by Walter Burghardt

In this inspiring and compassionate book, one of America's foremost Catholic theologians discusses why we must apply biblical justice―and not merely ethical/legal justice―to matters concerning the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized. Focusing on abused or neglected children, the AIDS-afflicted, the elderly, women, African-Americans, refugees, and prisoners on death row, Father Walter Burghardt urges that we become sensitive to their problems and faithful to the responsibilities we show more have undertaken in our covenant with God. We must hear the cries of the poor, he says, because social doctrine should evolve in large measure from the needs of people who share more of Jesus' crucifixion than his resurrection. show less
