A revision of Social Analysis: Linking Faith and Justice
(Holland/Henriot, 1982), an Orbis classic that has sold over 40,000
copies, this book fills the ongoing need for the tools of social
analysis and the ""pastoral circle"" approach to see/judge/act, but with
updated language and areas of concern. Like its predecessor, it will be
a valuable resource for seminaries, divinity schools, college
classrooms, and immersion groups. The book presents the basic tools of
social analysis before moving on to four specific case studies; the
environment, immigration, homelessness and HIV/AIDS. Reproducible
worksheets (of the type used everywhere in theological reflection
courses) will be included for group work.
