'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?'Jesus replied: '"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: "Love your neighbour as yourself." All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.' Matthew 22:36-40Noisy 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.Drawing on Brewin's work as a theologian, poet and teacher this accessible and highly original work 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?'

History

"International terrorism, racism, youth violence and religious fundamentalism ... our willingness to engage “the other” is at the heart of the majority of contemporary challenges today. Beginning with Jesus’ instruction to love God and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, Kester Brewin explores how we might better engage “the other” within the Self, within God and within the worlds we inhabit. Drawing on Brewin’s work as a theologian, church founder, poet and teacher, this accessible and highly original work prompts us to reconsider the key question, “What kind of selves do we need to be in order to live in harmony with others?” and lays out a fresh vision for Christian practice and community in the 21st century."
