This third volume of Dr. Jose Mario Bautista Maximiano’s book on Catholic social thought in contemporary Philippine Church History that spans from 1971 to 2021 is a truly welcome work as it presents certain details of recent historical events that are not usually included nor considered in the usual rhetoric about these times. It sheds light to certain facts about the events that transpired during those periods of our history…. The consideration given by the author to the details of these very recent historical events were scholarly done, guaranteeing the relevance of its presentation and the reliability of its sources.
