Twenty leading Catholic theologians, philosophers and experts on Catholic social teaching have contributed to An Introduction to Philosophy and Theology Within Catholic Liberal Education as a special project of UNDA's Associate Professor of Philosophy, and Acting Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, Dr Angus Brook. As editor as well as author of a number of chapters, Dr Brook was also instrumental in persuading some of Australia's leading academics to contribute chapters for a "long overdue and much needed" guide to help students, as well as anyone wishing to learn more about Catholic tradition and thinking. The book will not only help students undertaking the core curriculum, but will be both useful and helpful to anyone who wants to know about the Catholic approach to these subjects while simultaneously deepening their faith and understanding of the Church and its teachings.

Other contributors to the book include Associate Professor of Catholic Social Teaching, Dr Steven Lovell-Jones, well known and respected throughout the Archdiocese of Sydney and where he served as Promoter of Justice and Peace and was instrumental in the creation of the Sydney Alliance, a non political broad group of city organisations, local communities and diverse religions and cultures for the common good, as well as other important initiatives.
