Riassunto:

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 Dignity of Difference is Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's radical proposal for reconciling hatreds. 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.

Recensione:

A brave plea for universal values.""David Goldberg, The Guardian  ""The Dignity of Difference stands far above the many other books about globalisation, both for what is has to say and for the grace with which it says it. In this most prophetic work, Rabbi Sacks has written a guide for the perplexed of our time.""  Daniel Johnson, Daily Telegraph  ""The Dignity of Difference is a profound book that forces believers to think.""  Ziauddin Sardar, The Independent  ""It is a splendid book. In the light of September 11, it is timely, sensible, well-written and thoughtful. --Dan Cohn-Sherbok, The London Times
