Críticas:
"Considering Compassion is more than just an eye-catching title; it's a vital next step in thinking through the intersections of contemporary advocacy for compassion and pressing questions about life in an interconnected world. Wisely blending disciplines and helpfully exploring the implications of varied perspectives, this book--made all the more valuable by its mix of writers from the Global North and the Global South--makes good on its title's promise."
--Mark Douglas, Professor of Christian Ethics
