Sun of Justice: An Essay on the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church

"Justice, as well as Mercy, is an attribute to God Himself, and His Church is its Dispenser... And if Justice, then Social Justice." So begins Harold Robbins' essay on Catholic Social Teaching. With clarity and erudition Robbins draws from various sources in the Christian tradition to distill his principles, principles which were to serve as the foundation for the school of economic thought known as Distributism. The success of his effort was affirmed by none other than Dorothy Day, who claimed that The Sun of Justice "contains the best thinking ever done on Distributism." Originally published in 1938, this edition represents an effort to restore this long-lost treasure to contemporary audiences.
