Christian Compassion

History & Biography

“In this sweeping history, Monty Lynn ably introduces readers to leading lights and some lesser-known figures who have contributed to our understanding of compassion within the Christian tradition. More than a history, Lynn here presents compassion as a way of life that emerges from gratitude and leads to conversion and a deepening of vocation. Indeed, this book extends an invitation to undertake compassion as personal and communitarian practice in pursuit of the common good.”
