Bharat Ranganathan has produced an outstanding book on the subject, one of great importance that will provoke further conversations on the moral obligations of the affluent to those living in extreme poverty.' Nichole M. Flores, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, University of Virginia 'Bharat Ranganathan's well-written and carefully argued book is the most sustained discussion yet published of the pressing topic of severe poverty which draws on religious ethics. It represents an important (though increasingly less prominent) tradition of joining Christian ethics and religious philosophy.' Eric S. Gregory, Professor of Religion, Princeton University Author InformationBharat Ranganathan is the Rabbi Sidney and Jane Brooks Assistant Professor of Social Justice and Religion in the Religious Studies Program at the University of Nebraska Omaha.
