Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is on the brink of a significant societal shift that is highlighted by the urgent need to replace the old social order. The author suggests that the devastating effects of war have greatly accelerated this transition and necessitated profound societal change. The author believes that the transition requires addressing both practical and spiritual aspects. As the old order crumbles, emerging new principles begin to define the future. These principles are not viewed as final products, but rather evolving ideals that humanity can continually aspire to and apply. The author, a teacher of Christian ethics, draws parallels between these principles and the teachings of Jesus, suggesting their historical development and relevance to the current situation. While acknowledging the complexity of the issues involved, this book emphasizes the fundamental importance of justice, efficiency, and a focus on individuality. It also underscores the urgent need for religious and spiritual transformation alongside social and economic change.
