About the Author
Sir Jonathan Sacks is Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of Britain and the Commonwealth. He is the author of numerous books, including Celebrating Life, From Optimism to Hope, The Persistence of Faith and The Dignity of Difference, for which he won a Grawemeyer Award in Religion.
From the Back Cover
2001 began as the United Nations Year of Dialogue between Civilizations. By its end, the phrase most widely quoted was "the clash of civilizations." The tragedy of September 11 emphasised the danger of the religious differences that exist throughout the world. As 21st century politics of identity replace 20th century politics of ideology, can religion overcome its conflict- ridden past and become a force for peace?
The Dignity of Difference is Rabbi Jonathan Sacks` contribution to this important debate. Not only is it the first major global statement by a Jewish leader, it also marks a radical paradigm shift in the approach to religious co-existence. Sacks argues that we cannot merely look at the values common to all faiths; rather we must acknowledge and make room for the important differences. The diversity of creation is as much to be respected as the Unity of the Creator.
Sacks argues that only new thinking will allow us to meet the challenges posed by globalisation and interconnectedness in this age of unprecedented change. In The Dignity of Difference, one of the boldest theological statements by a world religious leader in many years, he hopes to change the terms of the debate.
A book on this subject by the Chief Rabbi of Britain and the Commonwealth exploring religious and racial conflict is bound to be of the very greatest interest.
