The purpose of the Social Teaching of the Church isnot to offer a theology of social economic life.Rather it is a serious theological invitation tothink theologically about a free society.The needsfor the human rights tradition,the place of the humanperson in the area of work,just wage unions andareas pertaining to authentic development ofpeople.When we have theologically instituteddevelopment,then there is genuineness andaccountability.Issues pertaining to economics areChristian issues and Christians thinking about thembrings about their importance in the world. But weknow that Christianity is a comprehensive meaning andwe know that one need not be a Christian tounderstand much of what the world affairs affecthumanity.To those who are Christians and know aboutjustice and the gospel values cannot avoid socialeconomic issues in their lives.But whoever venturesto speak about justice should be just himself.One isnot a Christian on Sunday and wears a secular hat onweekdays.Preachers too should not preach water anddrink wine.The book is good to clergy and Religiousduring and after formation.It can be used inUniversity and colleges in School of Humanities.
