About this product
Product Information
The late Pope John Paul II frequently invoked Dignitatis Humanae as one of the foundational documents of contemporary Church social teaching. In this timely new edited collection, Catholicism and Religious Freedom: Contemporary Reflections on Vatican II's Declaration on Religious Liberty, Kenneth L. Grasso and Robert P. Hunt have assembled an impressive group of scholars to discuss the current meanings of one the Vatican's most important documents and its place in Catholic social thought. The theological issues brought forth in Dignitatis Humanae go to the heart of the contemporary debate about the nature, foundation, and scope of religious liberty. Here, the contributors to this volume give these considerations the serious and sustained attention they deserve.

In an age of worldwide religious resurgence and of continuing controversy in the United States about the nature and limits of religious freedom, this book is both timely and unusual. Few Americans are aware of the radical change that has taken place in Roman Catholic teaching about religious freedom after Vatican II released its Declaration on Religious Liberty (Dignitatis Humanae) in the 1960s. This volume not only explains the significance of that Declaration but also takes up the challenge of its unfinished agenda for our day. Anyone interested in religious freedom and just governance should read this book., Catholicism and Religious Freedom is an important collection....The essays succeed in deepening out understanding of Dignitatis Humanae , the Second Vatican Council's statement on the right to religious freedom....In this text, Grasso and his co-editor, Robert P. Hunt, have assembled a fine line-up of scholars known for their work in Catholic ethics and social thought to join them in their work., In an age of worldwide religious resurgence and of continuing controversy in the United States about the nature and limits of religious freedom, this book is both timely and unusual. Few Americans are aware of the radical change that has taken place in Roman Catholic teaching about religious freedom after Vatican II released its Declaration on Religious Liberty ( Dignitatis Humanae ) in the 1960s. This volume not only explains the significance of that Declaration but also takes up the challenge of its unfinished agenda for our day. Anyone interested in religious freedom and just governance should read this book., As the editors of Catholicism and Religious Freedom astutely note in their panoramic and extremely substantive introduction, while DH "marks a dramatic expansion in the Church's teaching on the subject of religious liberty"....both so timely and so needed....the essays in this volume are uniformly solid..., Grasso and Hunt have assembled a wonderful collection of essays that clearly articulate the Catholic case for religious liberty. In an age in which the dominant view of church and state among academics, ironically, embraces a liberal Protestant view of theological truth (while claiming to be 'neutral' on the question), the contributors to this book, like the Declaration of Religious Liberty they engage, take the claims of theology seriously. The Declaration understands that religious liberty is only a good if humanity has a nature that flourishes in a regime in which this liberty is protected. But that assumes a certain theological understanding about the order and nature of things. The contributors of this book explore the many facets of this notion with clarity, rigor, and insight., The existence of a right to religious freedom is now widely recognized, but the foundation, the nature, and the scope of this right remain hotly debated. The essays of this book carefully distinguish typical secular accounts of the theoretical basis of such a right from the account provided in terms of a truly Catholic understanding of the human person, society, and the nature of religious truth. This volume rightly asks whether Dignitatis Humanae constitutes a break with previous church teaching or a genuine development of doctrine and argues for rejecting the privatization of religion fostered by Enlightenment liberalism is incompatible with an authentic understanding of religious freedom and the social dimensions of religion. This volume will be a very welcome resource for anyone considering church-state relations and Catholic social teaching., Each of the essays is well thought out and deftly argued. The quality of argumentation is flawless, and the perspectives varied., Each of the first six essays is strong, and together they provide the reader with a good understanding of both the development of the Declaration and its contemporary implications., For a contemporary study of religious freedom that engages and illuminates the best of contemporary Catholic thought on this subject and that is highly relevant to ongoing American debates over religious freedom, this is the book to buy., The volume may be recommended, not because it settles any particular issues, but because it urges renewed consideration of a text that has been more taken for granted of late than actively and intelligently studied., All those interested in religious freedom and its centrality to post-Vatican II moral theology will find much to illumine and to challenge in this excellent collection., Catholicism and Religious Freedom is an important collection....The essays succeed in deepening out understanding of Dignitatis Humanae, the Second Vatican Council's statement on the right to religious freedom....In this text, Grasso and his co-editor, Robert P. Hunt, have assembled a fine line-up of scholars known for their work in Catholic ethics and social thought to join them in their work., ...discussion of Dignitatis Humanae and the issues it raises will continue far into the twenty-first century. This exemplary volume will help keep the conversation focused, and serious., ...important volume of essays....One of the book's great merits is the thoroughness with which these two men's writings on the subject are analyzed, compared, and applied to the question of how best to interpret DH., ...they do serve as an excellent starting point for scholarly engagement with modern Catholic social thought, to which Catholicism and Religious Freedom is a fine addition.
