Without friends, says Aristotle, no one would choose to live. The greatest love a person can show another, says Jesus, is to choose to die for friend. Ancient and medieval writers extol ideal friendship as a path to virtue and a sign of new Christians’ total transformation. Headlines warn of a loneliness crisis. How can friendship be rediscovered as an important social good that brings meaning to life and cohesion to society? The authors in this issue tell of connections with peers and strangers, soulmates and political enemies, showing how in the Christian vision true friendship is a gift one can both die for and live for.
