Contributors discuss the positive effects of friendship and some of the culturally diverse ways that friendships develop. Friends help us co-exist in diverse societies, live sustainably in our ecosystems, heal from trauma, develop inner virtues, engage wisely in social action, and connect with the divine. While friendship is a core human value, cultural traditions have used different tools to build friendships. For example, Indigenous communities emphasize reciprocity on the land; Jewish traditions encourage respect for study partners; Buddhist teachers suggest discernment in befriending; Christian texts speak of bringing God's love into community. The fifteen scholars contributing to this book draw on the teachings of six different global traditions: Indigenous, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Islamic, and Christian. Each scholar applies the tools of their tradition--reciprocity, respect, discernment, love, and more--to discuss how we might become our best selves in community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne-Marie Ellithorpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666917354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666917352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Anne-Marie Ellithorpe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44598232252671,"sku":"9781666917352","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70ee354d-a8c9-46a3-9f07-5e0101f19e3a.jpg?v=1702381340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/multireligious-reflections-on-friendship-anne-marie-ellithorpe-9781666917352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
