Descrizione
Riepilogo:In a recent book, Hans Küng voices a challenge and outlines a program that the nations and religions of the world can ignore only at their own peril. (Küng 1991). With his usual thoroughness and passion, he argues that if the nations of the world are going to be able to confront and resolve the crises threatening humankind today, they are going to have to agree, in theory and praxis, on some kind of a "global ethics" (We/tethos); but such agreement cannot be reached unless the religions of the world cooperate among themselves in this undertaking. As he pithily summarizes his "kerygma:" there can be no peace, unity, dialogue among the nations unless there is peace, unity dialogue among the religions.
