Climate change. Pollution. Scarcity. Fracking. Privatization. Acidification. What can Catholicism's "best-kept secret"--the social doctrine of the church--teach us about Earth's water crisis?
In fact, it can teach us a lot.
Gary Chamberlain's Because Water Is Life: Catholic Social Teaching Confronts Earth's Water Crisis explores the major issues we face when it comes to water by analyzing them through the lens of Catholic social teaching (CST). After introducing the principles of CST, Because Water Is Life tells narratives about real people and real scenarios to unpack six contemporary water crises. With review and discussion questions and recommendations for additional research and reading, Because Water Is Life not only encourages critical thinking on one of today's most pressing issues, but catalyzes action and inspires hope for developing a new water ethic.
In fact, it can teach us a lot.

From the Back Cover
Because Water Is Life: Catholic Social Teaching Confronts Earth's Water Crisis
Supple, specific, and critically engaging, Because Water Is Life will be profoundly useful to teachers and students. Gary Chamberlain hones his analytic, constructive insights into an invaluable text about water and Catholic social teaching. A gripping and accessible book, I highly recommend it to everyone who seeks to understand the legacy of CST and how that tradition offers pathways toward water ethics.
