The Theology of Welfare

"The Theology of Welfare is the result of an enlightening series of conversations between thinkers representing politically diverse strands of thought in Judaism, Catholicism, and Protestantism. As they explore the theological roots underlying the varying perceptions of welfare reform, the contributors delve into the theological differences and essential similarities between these seemingly contradictory perspectives.

In doing so, they also touch upon the topics of human nature, the nature of evil, and a Biblical viewpoint of both government and the ideal welfare system."--BOOK JACKET.
