"My brief review cannot do justice to a book of this magnitude. This is a sincere and scholarly effort to build dialogue where there has been very little. Though dense, it is well written and well edited. ... There is a remarkable amount of continuity and coherence for an edited volume. For researchers on topics such as altruism, volunteering, and organizational citizenship behavior, this volume provides a rich and eclectic trove of ideas and referencematerial."--Personnel Psychology"This comprehensive overview of current research and thinking about altruism as a vital ethical concern in human affairs is must reading and valuable source material for serious students of these problems."--Theological Studies"The concept of altruism, or other-centered love and concern, continues to be a critical point of intersection for scientists, ethicists and theologians. Altruism and Altruistic Love (2002) attempts to address the variety of approaches to this multidisciplinary issue. Stephen Post, a Science & Theology News columnist, and colleagues offer profound and inspiring essays that explore the way we think about human altruisticbehavior."--Science & Theology News"My brief review cannot do justice to a book of this magnitude.

A philosophically careful, victim-centered theory of evil clearly speaks to both contemporary events and social theories, and at the core, 'The Atrocity Paradigm' is a useful and provocative starting point for this discussion." --SF Gate"This comprehensive overview of current research and thinking about altruism as a vital ethical concern in human affairs is must reading and valuable source material for serious students of these problems."--Theological Studies"The concept of altruism, or other-centered love and concern, continues to be a critical point of intersection for scientists, ethicists and theologians.
