The Bishops' Pastoral Letter and the Poverty Problem Early Vs. Contemporary Concerns and Doctrines

The Bishops' Pastoral Letter and the Poverty Problem Early Vs. Contemporary Concerns and Doctrines I. Introduction In their recent pastoral letter, the Catholic bishops of this country have reputedly taken a new approach in rooting their moral imperatives in the Bible. As opposed to the established, official convention of prooftexting, the US bishops focus on certain biblical themes which presumably speak to contemporary issues and problems. Chief among these is the socalled preferential option for the poor, which is attributed to both the Old and New Testaments and early Church Christianity. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Humanomics Emerald Publishing

Abstract

I. Introduction In their recent pastoral letter, the Catholic bishops of this country have reputedly taken a new approach in rooting their moral imperatives in the Bible. As opposed to the established, official convention of prooftexting, the US bishops focus on certain biblical themes which presumably speak to contemporary issues and problems. Chief among these is the socalled preferential option for the poor, which is attributed to both the Old and New Testaments and early Church Christianity.
