| Summary: | Written prior to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, David Hollenbach’s book Humanity in Crisis sounds a prescient alarm regarding the frequency and intensity of humanitarian crises. Clearly, transnational cooperation and international humanitarian efforts have not resolved human suffering due to war, climate change, extreme poverty, pandemic disease, forced displacement, and natural disaster. Hollenbach thus marshals ethical and religious resources to identify the responsibilities of governments, intergovernmental agencies, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to protect refugees and other displaced persons in crisis. |
