Another is the conciseness of each of his ‘sermons,’ which can be read quickly. He speaks in ‘ordinary’ language to which his readers can relate.

Maradiaga is one of the most outspoken members of the Catholic hierar- chy when it comes to the growing inequality around the world. As one of the Church’s most informed experts on social issues, Maradiaga holds that it is imperative for any Christian community to look at the dire state of social justice in the world, and to work for positive change. However, to do so requires a clear understanding of the issues at hand, and a comprehensive practice based on the laws of ethics. The Challenge of Inequality is perfect for anyone who is ready to study the urgent issue of social disparity and is willing to work for a better world. 978-0-8245-2081-6 $12.95 pb / 76 pages FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY STEFANO ZAMAGNI: "If a prophet is a figure who with courage and compassion denounces what is wrong with the present and not just someone who predicts the future—after all, we have economists for that!— then Maradiaga belongs to the admittedly thin ranks of genuine prophets." Óscar Andrés RodrÍguez Maradiaga, SDB, is a Honduran cardinal of the Catholic church. He is the archbishop of Tegucigalpa, the president of Caritas Internationalis, and the former president of the Latin American Episcopal Conference. He worked as the Vatican’s representative to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and has spoken out on social justice and inequality for many decades.

This fascinating brief explores the metamorphosis taking place in the global community of believers: the church’s new life comes from what historically has been labeled the periphery. The book also looks into the radical ramifications for all churches. 978-0-8245-2078-6 $12.95 pb / 100 pages NEW–CHURCH AT THE CROSSROAD SERIES SERIES THE CROSSROAD NEW–CHURCH AT FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "Of its nature, Christianity must be a worldwide faith, which carries its message to all cultures, all peoples and races: it must be global."
