Synopsis
From the preface: One glance at the contents of this book amply explains why anyone would be interested in its topics: Communal relations, interfaith relations, national policy, procedural justice, poverty, war, and forgiveness among individuals and communities are issues that have deeply affected human life from its very inception. The modern world's instant communication over any distance; its internationally interwoven economy; its capabilities of mass destruction; and its simultaneous potential for true global learning, understanding, and enrichment make these age- old issues all the more compelling. Some of the old answers seem to do just fine in our modern world, whereas others seem to be woefully inadequate. In some cases, we are not even sure how to apply ancient wisdom to the new circumstances in which we find ourselves. New explorations of these issues, then, are clearly in order.
