Loving your neighbor isn't just a nice idea--it's one of Jesus's most
important commands. Dr. Emily Smith will transform your understanding of
this instruction and help you live it out in practical, everyday ways.
In recent years, disparities and inequities have come to wider
attention--including in the church--that were created by years of
oppression, suppression, worldviews, ideologies, politics, and systemic
biases. The sheer size of the problem can feel overwhelming, and you may
wonder what you can do to make an impact.
Join Dr. Emily Smith, global health expert and creator of the popular
Facebook page Friendly Neighbor Epidemiologist, as she dives into what
loving your neighbor--as illustrated in the biblical parable of the Good
Samaritan--truly means. Combining Dr. Smith's expertise as a scientist
with her deep Christian faith and drawing from her journey from
small-town Texas to a prestigious university, The Science of the Good
Samaritan shares fascinating stories of faith at work in the Bible, in
Dr. Smith's life, and in the lives of others to show us how to:
- Find shared values with those who are not like us
- Reach outside of our immediate circles to bring in those on the
margins
- Redefine our concept of "neighbor" and love them in a more practical
and global way
- Finally bridge the gap of society's disparities and inequities
Change the world by loving your neighbor.
