To ensure our Teacher Guides are used to assist teachers, and do not become a resource for the students, it is Saint Mary’s Press’ policy to only ship this Teacher Guide to a school. If you would like a copy shipped to a location other than a school, or would like to receive a review copy, please contact our customer care department.
The second edition of Living Justice and Peace has the same clear theology with updated statistics and current events! The Living Justice and Peace course empowers students to examine society critically based on values from the Scriptures and on the seven themes of Catholic social teaching. The text addresses specific topics such as abortion, capital punishment, racism, poverty, the environment, and peace.
The teaching manual fully supports the student text and includes prayers, prayer services, review questions and answers, student activities, discussion questions, role-play situations, suggestions for interviews and guest speakers, student handouts, and much more.
