William T. Cavanaugh is director of the Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology and Professor of Catholic Studies at DePaul University in Chicago. His areas of specialisation are political theology, economic ethics, and ecclesiology.Carlos Mendoza-Álvarez, OP, is a tenured Professor in the Department of Theology at Boston College and a member of the board of directors of Concilium: International Journal of Theology. He has published twenty-five collective works, over fifty journal articles, and eight books. Ikenna U. Okafor is a Nigerian-born adjunct Professor of Intercultural Theology at the University of Vienna and a pastor in the Archdiocese of Vienna. His research interests include fraternity, intercultural and interreligious relations, and African theology.Daniel Franklin Pilario, CM, is an Associate Professor at St. Vincent School of Theology and Director of research at Adamson University in Manila. His publications focus on theological method, inculturation, political theology, Catholic social teaching, human rights, and ecology.

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 recognise ourselves as children of the same God.
