Jesus: Social Revolutionary?  | In the context of an Ireland that became unbelievably rich, but where many felt uncomfortable at the levels of homelessness and poverty that continued to exist, Jesus: Social Revolutionary? is an attempt to open a debate about the meaning of our faith and the obligations that belonging to the Christian community imposes on us.
"This book may seriously damage what is not infrequently considered to be Christian faith, lead you to a new sense of freedom, an increasing interest and wonder at the world around you, reveal to you a personal wealth that surpasses your wildest dreams, a wealth that no one can take from you, from which everyone can benefit, and which increases in value the more it is shared." - Gerard W Hughes SJ
"The challenge that Jesus posed by eating with sinners lay in the simple, but deeply profound, act of looking at a human being whom society considered of little value, of little use, of little worth and recognising that person's extraordinary dignity as a child of God..." - Peter McVerry SJ
About the author: Peter McVerry is a Jesuit priest who has spent many years working with homeless young people. In 1979 he set up a hostel for homeless boys. Four years later he establised the Arrupe Society, now known as the Peter McVerry Trust, to provide accommodation and support for young people who are homeless. Based at the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice in Upper Sherrard Street, Dublin, Peter's work with and campaigning on behalf of troubled young people has made him one of the most prophetic voices in Ireland today.
