''From a lay person‚s perspective, Dominican Contributions provides an
excellent overview of the relationship between faith and the social sphere.
Each chapter provides fascinating insight into the global influence of the
Dominicans. The collection aptly celebrates and records of the remarkable
contribution of the Dominicans to social thinking''.

‘'This important volume is a powerful reminder of the
proud fact that the quest for justice has been a consistent part of the
Dominican charism down through the ages and across the various continents.
It is a testimony to the existence of a subversive history, acknowledged
often, only by a few, but with hindsight always a valuable contribution to
the ongoing reflection on the primacy of the poor, the marginalized and the
oppressed in our theological endeavours and in the construction of
contemporary spiritualities. The book is as profound in the wisdom that it
offers as it is challenging in the conversion that it calls us to.’'
