About This Text

Author: Jonathan Sacks
The Dignity of Difference; How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations is a 21st-century work by Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks that proposes how to reconcile hatred between civilizations and religions. A pioneering Jewish work on the ethics of globalization, it marks a paradigm shift in the approach to religious coexistence. Rabbi Sacks argues that people must do more than search for values common to all faiths; they must also reframe the way they see differences.
