Prophetic & Public

Book excerpt: "Heyer's careful work opens up fresh avenues of conversation about the possibilities and limits of public theology by developing a vision of social witness rooted in the hope of common ground."?Margaret Pfeil, assistant professor of theology, University of Notre Dame"Anyone interested in grasping the terrain of U.S. Catholic social ethics or public theology today, and in discerning ways beyond internicene conflicts that detract from Catholics' shared vocation to solidarity within a suffering world, will delight in and benefit from Heyer's fine work."?Christine Firer Hinze, associate professor of Christian ethics, Marquette University
