Together for the Common Good by Nicholas Sagovsky
What does the term common good means to thinkers of different, primarily but not exclusively Christian traditions. This book will explore how the term is used both practically and theoretically.
The common good, differently expressed, can be found in all our faithsBut the question remains of how it should be made real, who needs to take ownership of it, and how easy it is to make a difference when public attitudes seem to be shying away from any such concept. This book gives us brilliant insights into how faith and other leaders think of what can and should be done. -- Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger
Together for the Common Good is a timely and accessible collection of helpful essays about a phrase which has become synonymous with Catholic Social teaching but has application for believer and non-believer alike. Combined with a belief in human dignity, and that every human being should be treated, as if made in the image of their Maker, the ideas which constitute the Common Good should inform political manifestos and discourse about policies, priorities, and the allocation of resources. -- Lord Alton of Liverpool
This is a remarkable book, written by some of the experts of different religious faiths. It should be read by all those interested in human rights, justice and politics in a secular and multi cultural society. To work towards the common good is to work for peace. -- Jean Vanier
