The first truly global commentary on a papal encyclical.
The first truly global commentary on a papal encyclical, Fratelli Tutti is a reflection on Pope Francis’ ‘Fratelli Tutti’ and its publication in 2020 in the midst of interrelated global crises. Including responses from a diversity of locations and perspectives, the scholars seek to model Francis’s call to fraternity and sorority and embody a creative openness to the reciprocal gifts of others. Pope Francis’ encyclical provided both a sobering assessment of the crises and a hopeful vision of solidarity and healing. Francis’ vision is taken forward by the scholars in this volume, answering the invitation to continue talking, thinking, and acting in a climate of confidence and audacity and to promote social friendship among the people of the world.

"This is the first commentary on Pope Francis's encyclical on fraternity and social friendship, but it is hard to imagine it ever being surpassed. Such is the breadth and depth of this extraordinary work that stands as a genuinely worthy companion to an encyclical that powerfully calls us to recognize ourselves as children of the same God." James F. Keenan, SJ, professor of theology, Boston College "This book is a powerful commentary on the encyclical Fratelli Tutti, where Pope Francis convokes Christians to fraternity, departing from a particular local level in order to build a global ethics. Through the various perspectives rises and shines the central proposal of the document: to convert from current logic of competition and interest to the logic of fraternity and love." Maria Clara Bingemer, professor of theology, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro
