Violence, Society, and the Church

by Gerald A. Arbuckle

"The reality of violence and the fear it generates is constantly in the news. Terrorist attacks across the world and other abuses of power, such as the sexual abuses in the Catholic Church, the continuance of patriarchalism, racism, and the negative effects of globalization, highlight the relevance of Violence, Society, and the Church. Here Father Arbuckle uniquely explains these forms of violence in the wider context of their cultural roots."--BOOK JACKET.
