"This volume presents a series of essays discussing Latter-day Saint readings on the teachings of the Old Testament about taking care of those who are marginalized or otherwise disadvantaged. This theme was prompted by repeated calls from living prophets and other Church leaders that members of the Church should 'lead out' in confronting modern social challenges such as poverty, racism, sexism, nationalism, religious discrimination, and the world's growing refugee crisis... This book is arranged in sections with chapters discussing Old Testament teachings about women, people who are economically poor and needy, refugees and displaced persons, and individuals with physical disabilities. The book finishes with chapters discussing the teachings of Old Testament prophets as they critiqued the ancient Israelites' performance regarding their responsibility to care for one another."
