Sin and the Social World
Daniel Lee Hill and Ty Kieser critique accounts of “supra‐personal sin” by asking whether such accounts violate the doctrine of the sinlessness of Christ. Their description of discourse about sinful social structures that relies on analysis from critical realist sociology in current Christian ethics is largely accurate but adds a mistaken assumption that such discourse is an attempt to account for “social sin.” On the contrary, this understanding…

Irish Politics Since the Crash, 2008–2016
The Great Recession has had a far-reaching and profound impact on Irish political life. In the Republic of Ireland, there have been greater shifts at the ballot box since the crisis began than over the previous five decades, and a combative movement against water charges has threatened the state’s image as the poster child for Euro-austerity. Meanwhile, the postwar settlement in Northern Ireland faces its most severe challenge yet, as drastic cut…
Empirical Foundations of the Common Good
What has social science learned about the common good? Would humanists even want to alter their definitions of the common good based on what social scientists say? In this volume, six social scientists—from economics, political science, sociology, and policy analysis—speak about what their disciplines have to contribute to discussions within Catholic social thought about the common good. None of those disciplines talks directly about “the common …
Empirical Foundations of the Common Good: What Theology Can Learn from Social Science
What Is a Sinful Social Structure?
Catholic social teaching has long affirmed the existence of sinful social structures but without describing them or how they operate. This article reviews magisterial teaching on sinful social structures and turns to critical realist sociology for an analysis of structures as having causal influence through the free choices of persons within them. Theologically, social structures (whether markets or parishes) can be “sinful” in an analogous sense…
Republicanism and the Irish Left
The Irish national revolution of 1916–23 left behind a partitioned island, with a northern segment that remained part of the United Kingdom and a southern ‘Free State’ – later to become a Republic – that was dominated by conservative forces. Most of those who had been involved in the struggle for national independence peeled off to form new parties in the 1920s, leaving behind a rump of militant Irish republicans. Sinn Féin and its military wing,…
A Guide to Successful Defiance
Rethinking the Republic
Nowhere else in the West does a single figure occupy the same position in national life as the political writer Fintan O’Toole in Ireland. The first full consideration of the cursus and corpus of this powerful critic of the island’s establishment, and the society over which it has presided. Merits and limitations of another understanding of ‘republicanism’ in Ireland
Christian Economic Ethics: History and Implications
What does the history of Christian views of economic life mean for economic life in the twenty-first century? Here Daniel Finn reviews the insights provided by a large number of texts, from the Bible and the early church, to the Middle Ages and the Protestant Reformation, to treatments of the subject in the last century. Relying on both social science and theology, Finn then turns to the implications of this history for economic life today. Throu…
The Moral Dynamics of Economic LifeAn Extension and Critique of Caritas in Veritate: An extension and critique of Caritas in veritate
Caritas in veritate (Charity in Truth) is the “social” encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI, one of many papal encyclicals over the last 120 years that address economic life. This volume analyzes the situation of the Church and the theological basis for Benedict’s thinking about the person, community, and the globalized economy. This book engages Benedict’s analysis of “relation,” the characteristics of contemporary social and economic relationships, …
Irlande: Le tournant
Ireland on the turn
In a landmark study, Daniel Finn surveys the political and economic consequences of the 2008 crash, on both sides of the Irish border. Looming austerity and entrenched sectarian divides in the North; with the demise of the Celtic Tiger in the South, the unravelling of Fianna Fáil’s long dominance and emergence of a new-model Sinn Fein as the one all-Ireland party
Sustaining Equality and Justice in the Struggle for Socialism
Every socialist has surely indulged in speculation about an ideal society from time to time. The realities of our own society certainly encourage such flights of fancy. But they should not be considered entirely fanciful: without imaginative thinking, it is quite impossible to see how the world might be changed for the better. Yet without any practical grounding, such exercises cannot take us any nearer to the "realistic utopia" that should be ou…
