OptionforPoor

"The chief purpose of the Christian Church in the past has been the salvation of individuals. But the most pressing task of the present is not individualistic. Our business is to make over an antiquated and immoral economic system...."

-- Walter Rauschenbusch

Life, Death, the Cross & the Preferential Option for the Poor

Evaluates this controversial social justice doctrine for a modern audience.

Investigates the “poverty” of each one of us (cosmology and mortality).

Shows how the “preferential option for the poor” reveals “what God has done for us in Christ,[and] names the essential mission of the church.” (Clarke, S.J.).

How the PofP “renders the very mystery of salvation” - where it starts, where it ends and what it costs (in economics and politics).
