This Common Life: Seeking the Common Good Through Love of Neighbor
This Common Life brings together the Christian practice of neighbor love and a theologically rich imagination of the common good to cast a constructive vision of life together that cuts across divisions. This text is not a diagnosis of toxic polarization, violence, oppression, and marginalization (many have already done this important work), but a prescription—a proposal for how we might move forward in redemptive, Christ-like love by focusing on our common life. Aimed at pastors, lay leaders, community organizers, and churchgoers, this book looks to Scripture and the teachings of the church to make a compelling case for a distinct and constructive understanding of both the “common” and the “good” that can generate communities marked by love, belonging, justice, and mutual flourishing.
