This work consists of reflections on each of these themes followed by resource bibliographies that will help people to continue their own study. The book has arisen from three decades of speaking and writing on the issues of social justice in the Bible and from engagement in over twenty-five Preaching the Just Word retreats founded by the late Walter Burghardt, SJ, and given to priests throughout the country.
