In 1993, the World Parliament of Religions endorsed the
"Declaration towards a Global Ethic" based on the premise that the
only way to peace among nations was achieving peace among
religions, and that peace would only come through dialogue and
understanding. With this declaration, drafted by Rev. Dr. Hans
Kung, representatives from all the world's religions agreed on
principles for a global ethic and committed themselves to
directives of non-violence, respect for life, solidarity, a just
economic order, tolerance, and equal rights and partnership between
men and women. But the declaration was just the first step.
In How to Do Good and Avoid Evil, the acclaimed Rev. Dr. Hans
Kng and Walter Homolka illustrate how achieving these directives is
possible by examining them through the lens of Judaism. The authors
make the case for a fundamental consensus on binding values,
irrevocable criteria and basic moral attitudes, which can be found
in Judaism's universal message that action over belief offers hope
of a better world. By exploring Judaism's focus on ethical conduct
over declarations of faith, its intrinsic tolerance toward other
religions based on openness to more than one way to salvation, and
the application of human interpretation of scriptures, the authors
show a working model for making ethical decisions possible in an
ever-changing world.
