The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Religion and Social Justice Hardcover - 2012 - 1st Edition
by Michael D. Palmer (Editor); Stanley M. Burgess (Editor)
From the rear cover
The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Religion and Social Justice offers a wide-ranging account and exploration of the crucial topics at the intersection of religion and social justice. Virtually all major religions, faith traditions, and sacred belief systems have found ways to express 'social justice'. This is the first time a comparative study has brought together all of these elements across all the major world religions.
Newly-commissioned essays by distinguished authors explain exactly what individual traditions believe in relation to social justice; what the main issues are and how the major faiths differ in their approaches; which social justice movements exist and what they do; the key thinkers and activists in each religion; and an account of the key texts within religions. The result is a unique and richly informative volume, both in shedding new light on individual religions, and in providing a comparative history and survey of world religions.
