Latter-day Saint Families: Eternal Perspectives

In her book, The New Religious Intolerance, Martha Nussbaum has written that "any self-knowledge worth the name tells you that others are as real as you are, and that your life is not just about you, it is about accepting the fact that you share a world with others, and about taking action directed at the good of others." In this special series in Public Square Magazine, we share religious and relational strengths from eight religious-ethnic communities (Asian Christian, Black Christian, Catholic and Orthodox Christian, Evangelical Christian, Jewish, Latter-day Saint, Mainline Protestant, and Muslim). Part of what we share in each article is our own sense of deep respect -- and even holy envy -- about various aspects of faiths other than our own.
