How does one speak about the really big questions of our time -
waging war, making ends meet, and preserving the planet? What does
it mean to think ethically in a world marked by fear of terror,
economic anxiety and ecological meltdown? Can revisiting the moral
wisdom of the historical Jesus or learning about the moral
perspectives of our global neighbors help us address our fears?In
""Ethics in a Global World"", Jack Hill connects the dots between
what Jesus said long ago and what we experience today in a
radically new way by linking the voice of Jesus to unheard voices
of contemporary, largely marginalized, social and political
movements. He draws on his firsthand experiences living overseas to
introduce readers to the moral thinking of Pacific islanders,
Jamaican Rastafarians and a new generation of South Africans. If
Americans are to live the good life in the global village, he
argues, we need to be in creative dialogue with neighbors overseas,
and that dialogue will enable us to experience our own American
moral heritage, as well as the Jesus tradition, in fresh ways.
