24. Prophet of the Christian Social Manifesto: Joseph Husslein, S.J. His Life, Work, & Social Thought, by Stephen A. Werner. ISBN 0-87462-648-X. ©2001. Paperbound. 187 pp. $20
“When one looks at the basic social teaching of Joseph Husslein on industrial democracy, one can only say: ‘Would that’—would that the country, rocked a few years later by a major depression, had heeded his words. Perhaps it will take one more major economic collapse to open men’s eyes to see what Joseph Husslein saw eighty years ago. Dr. Stephen Werner gives us a picture of an economic and social prophet.” —William Barnaby Faherty, S.J., Professor Emeritus, Saint Louis University
“This is an excellent study of a major exponent of Catholic social thought. Stephen A. Werner shows how Joseph Husslein, S.J., melded theology, social science, and the cultural traditions of Catholicism into a compelling vision of spiritual unity for a fragmented world.” — James T. Fisher, Danforth Chair in Humanities
