The Ethics of Encounter: Christian Neighbor Love as a Practice of Solidarity
The Ethics of Encounter provides an ethical framework for the culture of encounter that Pope Francis calls us to build. This book serves as a creative and constructive proposal for what it would take to build a culture of encounter in an American context marked by rising individualism, racial tensions, class segregation, hyperpartisanship, and echo chambers online. The work of Fr. Greg Boyle, SJ, provides a case study for overcoming fear, hatred, and trauma in order to practice Christian neighbor love that aspires for solidarity.
