This book develops an original, accessible, and crucial argument relevant to anyone interested in Catholic social teaching, water, and environmental ethics. Because Water Is Life is an excellent and inspiring resource for classrooms, churches, and anyone who wants to think with religious tradition about how to build a better future on Earth.
