Forty Years After Pius XI And The Social Order: A Commentary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781430457022)

Forty Years After Pius XI and the Social Order: A Commentary by Raymond J. Miller is a book that provides a critical analysis of Pope Pius XI's encyclical Quadragesimo Anno, which was released in 1931. The encyclical addressed the social and economic issues of the time, including the Great Depression and the rise of communism and fascism.The book examines the impact of Quadragesimo Anno on Catholic social teaching and its relevance in the present day. Miller argues that while the encyclical was groundbreaking in its recognition of the rights of workers and the importance of social justice, it also had limitations in its failure to address issues such as gender and race.The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific themes, such as labor, property, and the common good. Miller draws on a range of sources, including Catholic social teaching, political theory, and contemporary social movements, to provide a comprehensive analysis of Quadragesimo Anno and its legacy.Overall, Forty Years After Pius XI and the Social Order: A Commentary provides a thought-provoking examination of the history and relevance of Catholic social teaching, and will be of interest to scholars and students of theology, political science, and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
