Böcker av Sir Jonathan Sacks

The Dignity of Difference is Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's radical proposal for reconciling hatreds.The year 2001 began as the United Nations Year of Dialogue between Civilizations. By its end, the phrase that came most readily to mind was 'the clash of civilizations.' The tragedy of September 11 intensified the danger caused by religious differences around the world. As the politics of identity begin to replace the politics of ideology, can religion become a force for peace?The first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization, it also marks a paradigm shift in the approach to religious coexistence. Sacks argues that we must do more than search for values common to all faiths; we must also reframe the way we see our differences.

Rabbi Sacks argues that preoccupation with self is a mistake and that ethics are concerned with the life we live together. With a new foreword by Rowan Williams.

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.
