From the rear cover

There is little doubt that John Rawls was the preeminent English speaking political philosopher of the twentieth century. His monumental 1971 book, A Theory of Justice, is often credited with revitalizing political philosophy. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in publications on Rawls, but while the depth and significance of his work on social justice is generally acknowledged, the breadth of his contribution to philosophy is often neglected.

With the publication of A Brief Inquiry into the Meaning of Sin and Faith, Rawls's corpus now stands at eight books, comprising some 3,500 pages of text. A Companion to Rawls provides a comprehensive and up-to-date study of the totality of Rawls's work from informed, reliable, but diverse and sometimes critical perspectives. It is a "must-have" volume for students and scholars with a serious interest in Rawls's work.
