      abstract = {The canon for Catholic social teaching spreads to six  hundred pages,yet fewer than two pages are devoted to  Catholic social learning or pedagogy. In this long-needed  book, Roger Bergman begins to correct that gross imbalance.  He asks: How do we educate ("lead out") the faith that does  justice? How is commitment to social justice provoked and  sustained over a lifetime? To address these questions,  Bergman weaves what he has learned from thirty years as a  faith-that-does-justice educator with the best of current  scholarship and historical authorities. He reflects on  personal experience; the experience of Church leaders, lay  activists, and university students; and the few words the  tradition itself has to say about a pedagogy for justice.  Catholic Social Learning explores the foundations of this  pedagogy, demonstrates its practical applications, and  illuminates why and how it is fundamental to Catholic  higher education. Part I identifies personal encounters  with the poor and marginalized as key to stimulating a  hunger and thirst for justice. Part II presents three  applications of Catholic social learning: cross-cultural  immersion as illustrated by Creighton University's Semestre  Dominicano program; community-based service learning; and  the teaching of moral exemplars such as Dorothy Day, Rev.  Martin Luther King Jr., and Archbishop Oscar Romero. Part  III then elucidates how a pedagogy for justice applies to  the traditional liberal educational mission of the Catholic  university, and how it can be put into action. Catholic  Social Learning is both a valuable, practical resource for  Christian educators and an important step forward in the  development of a transformative pedagogy.},
