More than any previous generation, we have been tempted to imagine that the individual's needs are the sole source of meaning.

This is a clarion call to the outside world to come to its senses. 'There is much of great wisdom here, for readers of all faiths and none.' Bishop of Thetford'A book for our...

Navzdory prognózám o trvale postupující sekularizaci se 21. století stává svědkem prudkého vzestupu náboženského extremismu a násilí páchaného v Božím jménu. V této svrchovaně aktuální a naléhavé knize zkoumá Jonathan Sacks kořeny násilí a jeho spojitost s náboženstvím, přičemž se zaměřuje především na dějinné napětí mezi třemi abrahamovskými náboženstvími: judaismem, křesťanstvím a islámem.
