Description
Suitable for scholars, students, religious, and lay readers, this title investigates how Catholics divided by partisan rancor can better solve problems and understand one another.
Useful reminder that Christians have reason to engage in public life confident of the ever-present (if somewhat elusive) possibility of enhancing the common good together.
Rubio’s book is best in its review of the theological place that communities offer us to live as Christians in the world. Her call for choosing the incremental and the pragmatic—and I would add “the prudential”—is compelling.
An ambitious, inspiring social agenda for twenty-first-century American Catholics. Each of her case studies demonstrates ethical nuance and thorough policy detail, and she provides a compelling set of proposals for immediate action or further dialogue.
The book's strengths are many. . . . [The] practical embodiment of hope may be Rubio's greatest gift to the reader. . . . Hope for Common Ground will be of great interest to anyone interested in the spiritual and political dimensions of our times, and we need it now more than ever.
Julie Hanlon Rubio is a professor of Christian ethics at St. Louis University. She is the author of Family Ethics: Practices for Christians (GUP 2010) and A Christian Theology of Marriage and Family, and coeditor of Readings in Moral Theology No. 15: Marriage.
