Hope for a Global Ethic: Shared Principles in Religious ScripturesBaha'i Publishing Trust, 2005 - 231 pagini In a groundbreaking book that calls on the world's religions to look at what they have in common, author and scholar Brian Lepard offers hope to a world community that has become dangerously fractionalized by economic, social, religious, and political differences. In Hope for a Global Ethic Lepard cogently argues that different societies have much more in common than they might otherwise think, beginning with a profound historic and lasting belief in religion, and that our fearful and often suspicious view of other people may be overcome by exploring what is shared in these religions. Hope for a Global Ethic moves significantly beyond ideology to discuss the values that all people have shared through the faiths of the world. It is these values that offer hope in our fearful, disordered, and terrorized world. |
