"The conversation includes some noteworth convergences...This volume is a delightful invitation not only to overhear the conversation which has already taken place, but to join it."Scottish Journal of Theology, 2009
"Although the common good is among the most fundamental motifs within Christian ethics, the notion is notoriously slippery. This volume makes significant contribution to our understanding of the common good by exploring for our times wide-ranging aspects of socially responsible collective action for the mutual benefit of all... Among the strengths of the volume are its consistently learned, well-documented presentation and the way the authors reach out to a rich variety of dialogue partners, both within and beyond theological circles... a testament to the complexity of the ethical task facing Christians today."- Thomas Massaro, September Vol. 67, no.3
