Explore how the principles of a global ethic can be found in
Judaism and how they can provide the ethical norms for all
religions to work together toward a more peaceful humankind. In
1993, the Parliament of the World's Religions endorsed the
"Declaration toward a Global Ethic" composed by Hans Küng. In it,
representatives from all the world's religions agreed on principles
for a global ethic and committed themselves to directives of
nonviolence, 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 this impressive
volume, Hans Küng, probably the most famous living Roman Catholic
theologian, and Rabbi Walter Homolka, head of Germany’s Abraham
Geiger rabbinical seminary and distinguished professor, draw on the
Jewish tradition to show the riches that Judaism can offer people
of all faiths and nonbelievers in achieving these directives.
Presenting key sacred texts and theological writings, the authors
make the case for binding values and basic moral attitudes that can
be found in Judaism’s universal message of a better world.
Exploring Judaism’s focus on ethical conduct over declarations of
faith, the authors show that making ethical decisions is
indispensable in an ever-changing world.
