 Love Thy Stranger traces the surprising history of Jesus’ most radical commandment and how it reshaped the moral imagination of the Western world. Long before charity for strangers became “common sense,” Greek and Roman ethics focused on loyalty to family, friends, and insiders. Jesus introduced a shocking new moral demand: unconditional love for those outside one’s community, even complete strangers. In this book, New Testament historian Bart Ehrman explores how that revolutionary idea was debated, resisted, misunderstood, and ultimately transformed how we think about generosity, justice, and responsibility to others—right up to the present day.

“

A humane, thoughtful and intelligent historian... The great appeal of Ehrman's approach to Christian history has always been his steadfast humanizing impulse.

The New York Times Book Review

“

Bart Ehrman has made a career of zeroing in on some of the most difficult questions at the intersection of faith and history.

One of my absolute favorite Bible scholars stimulates the mind and charges the spirit.
