Good books on Catholic Social Teaching?

[ChristinaM]

Hi all, I’ve decided that I need to educate myself more on the social teaching of the Church. Does anyone have any book recommendations for me? I know I should probably start with the encyclicals but a study guide or something similar would be very helpful. Thanks!

I’ve heard that the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church is a good resource for learning more about Catholic social teaching. Here’s a link:
