The concept of Unbutu is one of openness and availability to others. This concept, which originated in Africa and emphasizes community, can be foreign to Westerners who generally have a more individualized sense of self. Michael Battle explores the principle of Unbutu within the context of Christianity and shows how its practice can offer new perspectives on the Gospel as well as broaden understanding across cultures.

“Michael’s book helps us all to see that we are all inextricably linked together. We forget this at our peril. The good news, however, is that God’s love will not leave us alone. It is my prayer that, in the same way, Ubuntu will not leave us alone.”--Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner and retired archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa
