Two really good books that have helped me with my definition of “neighbour” are:

1. Before We Call Them Strangers: What Adventists Ought to Know About Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus, by Dr. Paul Dybdahl (Advent Source)

2. Not Without My Neighbour: Issues in Interfaith Relations, by Rev. Dr Wesley Ariarajah

The world we live in belongs to God. It is God’s neighborhood, making us truly neighbors.

@spectrumbot

Neighbors are part of the hermeneutical lens through which we see God’s good work in the world.

I could use a quote from every paragraph in this essay, But let limit myself to these two. Well done! Thank you!
