In the heart of a world rife with inequality and suffering, "In the Company of the Poor" emerges as a profound dialogue between two visionaries, Dr. Paul Farmer and Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez. These pages are not merely filled with words but are alive with the commitment to combat poverty through the lens of liberation theology. As Farmer applies these principles through his groundbreaking work in social justice medicine, Gutierrez sees in Farmer's endeavors a vivid embodiment of the church's call to serve the least among us. Their exchange is more than academic; it is a testament to the power of faith and compassion to effect real change in the world. This book is an invitation to witness an inspiring collaboration that transcends traditional boundaries between activism and theology. Through essays, speeches, and a captivating dialogue at Notre Dame, readers are offered a rare glimpse into the minds of two individuals who have dedicated their lives to the service of humanity. "In the Company of the Poor" challenges us to reevaluate our own commitments, urging us to join in solidarity with the poor and marginalized. It is a compelling call to action, reminding us that true liberation comes through empathy, understanding, and, most importantly, love.

If I am hungry, that is a material problem; if someone else is hungry, that is a spiritual problem.
