Recommended Readings
As I read through scripture, sermons and encyclicals on Christian charity, I'm compiling this list of texts that I have found the most poignant, useful and salient.
I am very excited to speak with folks about all of these texts.
I encourage you to recommend me things to read at jhlaw@sjc.edu
Charity Seminars: Scripture on giving, neighbourship and stewardship
In collaboration with Christians for Impact, I hosted a pair of simultaneous seminar series on Christian Charity. I compiled the scripture that the Effective Altruism For Christians community refence the most in their blogposts, and organised it based on four themes:
1) Who is my neighbour?
2) Comparing the parable of the rich young man with the story of the alabaster jar.
3) Stewardship and Optimising.
4) Giving.
These seminars were powerful discussions about the intersection between Effective Altruism and christian theology, with Christians associated with Effective Altruism, students of the classics from St. John's College and Christians unexposed to the Effective Altruism.
