Abstract
The question of hunger world-wide is a striking paradox: Why should the world that enjoys a radically advanced human civilization still face threats of disease and death from hunger and starvation? This paradox provokes three other related questions: Firstly, what exactly does hunger as a world problem consist in, and how does it come about? Secondly, the persistence of this paradox compels the question as to whether there have been attempts to its solution: What are these attempts, and why does hunger still persist? In the same regard, particular curiosity falls on the role of the Church: How does the Church interpret the persistence of hunger in the light of Christian theology and in the tradition of its social teaching? What hope does the Church’s social teaching offer as a way forward? Thirdly, this paradox provokes society’s general estimation of its ability and commitment to eradicate hunger especially from the point of view of the areas most affected: What more needs to be done to alleviate hunger?
