Böcker av Sir Jonathan Sacks

Following the loss of his father, Sacks began to learn how to celebrate life in a new way. Based in part on his columns in 'The Times' newspaper, this book is for people of all faiths and none. It shows us how to be human and in becoming so how we can touch the divine.

In this text, the main tenets of the Jewish faith are explained in an accessible manner.

Presents a thesis on the future of British society and the dangers facing liberal democracy. Arguing that global communications have fragmented national cultures and that multiculturalism, intended to reduce social frictions, is today reinforcing them, the author argues for a different approach to national identity.

Sacks argues that faiths must remain open to criticism, keep alive their separate communities and still contribute far more to national debates on moral issues. they must also learn to get along better. His thesis is that we still live under a Biblical canopy and that a cohesive morality needs the uniting bonds of faith.

Jonathan Sacks' best selling book appears for the first time in paperback and has been revised in response to the controversy it caused. It presents a major global statement by a Jewish leader about racial, political and religious conflict in the modern world.

Following the publication of his prize-winning and best selling book, The Dignity of Difference, Rabbi Sacks' standing as one of our foremost spiritual leaders is beyond dispute. He has brought hope and encouragement to people at a time when many feel threatened by the complexities and challenges of the turbulent modern world.
