Christianity is a call to a life of prayer and activism, says Susan Rakoczy, author of this book. The author traces the lives and writings of contemplatives who championed activism, political, religious, and social. For example, she considers the life and work of Catherine of Siena, Ignatius of Loyola, Evelyn Underhill, Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, and four South Africans: Denis Hurley, Beyers Naude', Nelson Mandela, and Desmond Tutu. The author is a native of Detroit, Michigan. She holds a PhD in theology from the Catholic University of America. Currently, she is a lecturer in theology at St. Joseph's Theological Institute, Cedara, South Africa.
