Even Old Testament Exhortations To Love Your Neighbor Gave Little Reason To Consider The Suffering Of Those Beyond Your Own Community.Jesus Changed All This, Introducing A Revolutionary New Ethical Obligation To Love Those You DidnT Even KnowUnconditionallyAnd To Demonstrate That Love Through Acts Of Care.

Ehrman Charts The Causes And Consequences Of This Ethical Revolution With His Signature Sly Humor And Verve.
