Reviews
A participant observer of the first order, Father Paul Hanly Furfey strove for the salvation of souls even while he perfected the craft of social analysis and group dynamics. The legacy of this apostolic academic is marked by intellectual vitality and a passion for enacting the Catholic social justice tradition through the development of careful methodologies and whole-hearted commitment. In his work there was no separation between scientific inquiry and growth in holiness. Trenchant in its argument and balanced in its detail, Professor Rademacher's study is more than an intellectual biography. It is a snapshot of mid-twentieth century Catholic life and thought centering on one of the nation's leading social reformers. --Patrick Hayes, Redemptorist Archives of the Baltimore Province
