Summary:	Does religion encourage altruism on behalf of those who do not belong? Are the very religious more likely to be altruistic towards outsiders than those who are less religious? In this book Pearl M. Oliner examines data on Christian rescuers and nonrescuers of Jews during the Holocaust to shed light on these important questions.
