That is the question Global Neighbours addresses. It focuses on our moral obligations and ethical commitments to the poor, the oppressed, and the least living among us.
The 13 authors of Global Neighbors are primarily academics, with a sprinkling of pastors and policy experts, but all have an interest in exploring how culture, economy, and faith affect the way we love our neighbours. The parable of the Good Samaritan is repeatedly referenced and analyzed by various authors.
Although this discussion primarily concerns the macro level, examining the roles of economic theory, free markets, governments, manufacturers, and theology in the encouragement to love our neighbours, there are numerous applications on the personal level.
