by Kortright Davis (Author)
Davis reviews the various approaches to compassion, love, and altruism by multiple scholars. He explores the contours of "other-love," a selfless regard for the well-being of others. Davis also examines the basis for distinctive modes of compassionate behavior enriched by "ebony grace"--a theological attribution for people of African descent.
