Christianity's Expansive Definition of Neighbor and Humanity

This chapter explores how Christianity broadened the concept of 'neighbor' and recognized the humanity of marginalized groups like slaves, newborns, and black people, emphasizing a shared human nature and the instinct of solidarity. It contrasts Christian moral teachings with historical views on practices like infanticide, abortion, and slavery, highlighting Christianity's condemnation of such acts and advocacy for the dignity of all individuals. The chapter reflects on the Christian moral revolution that challenged societal injustices and expanded the perception of full humanity to include previously marginalized groups, contrasting this with Nietzsche's rejection of Christian morality.
