The title caught my eye and lives up it.It has not exactly been an easy bed time read. It is academically and in the content itself challenging.
Brewer explains of the many demographics we should compassionatly care about in order to truly live out the command of... "Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind".... (Matthew 22v 36-40).
Noisy neighbours, international terrorism, racism, teenage violence and religious fundamentalism ...from the personal to the local to the international and theological, it is our failure to engage 'the other' that is at the heart of so many of the problems we face.
Beginning with Jesus' instruction to love God, and love our neighbour as we love ourselves, Brewin explores how we might better engage 'the other' within the Self, within God and within the worlds we inhabit.
Brewer prompts us to reconsider the key question of 'what kind of selves do we need to be in order to live in harmony with others?' Imagine if we actually did something!?
