A Creed for Today
Theologian and missionary priest Donal Dorr lays out the possible elements of a Creed--a statement of Christian belief--that takes into account our contemporary standpoint in relation to ecology and our understanding of an evolving universe.

Faith at Work
In a world that questions more and more the quality of leadership in churches and politics, Donald Dorr proposes a spirituality that supports authentic leadership.

Bible of the Oppressed
Why haven't we North American biblical scholars done such a systematic study of the words for oppression in the Bible? If the answer is that we who possess the critical skills are not ourselves oppressed or identified with communities of the oppressed, then it becomes imperative that we listen all the more carefully to these voices from the South. -- Walter Wink, Professor Emeritus of Biblical Interpretation, Auburn Theological Seminary, New York This book is a welcome addition to a growing body of evidence that the Bible is a book about social justice for the oppressed of the land and that this indeed is the good news. -- Marie Augusta Neal, SND de Namur, author of A Socio-Theology of Letti...
Option for the Poor
"As part of its commitment to human liberation, the Church in Latin America calls for an "option for the poor." Since the time of the Reformation no phrase has caused so much soul-searching and controversy in the Church. Does such an option mean adopting a new direction, or is the option for the poor in line with the mainstream tradition of Catholic social teaching? Donal Dorr seeks to answer this question by carefully examining the past hundred years of social teaching in the Catholic Church. Through a thorough study of what popes, councils, and synods have had to say about poverty and social injustice, Dorr shows that the option for the poor has a solid basis in tradition. Original, balanced, and timely, Option for the Poor makes a valuable contribution to overcoming the controversy and prejudices that attend the debate on liberation theology."--
