There is a significant connection between ecumenism and world peace. Anyone who feels a sense of obligation toward the world community, who takes seriously the fragility of all human arrangements, who has glimpsed the possibilities of technical and human error, must know what is at stake here. He must know that the threat to peace and the need to regulate it have long since burst through the dimensions of the specific, reginoal conflict, and have become global political problems on which the survival of us all depends. The most fanatical, the cruelest political struggles are those that have been colored, inspired, and legitimized by religion. To say this is not to reduce all political conflicts to religious ones, but to take seriously the fact that religions share in the responsibility for bringing peace to our torn and warring world.

Reviews
This book is based on a lecture series designed to increase understanding of four of the world's great religions. In particular, theologian Kung and his colleagues, all professors in their respective disciplines, hope to make non-Christian religions accessible to Christians. For each tradition, four basic issues are presented (e.g., "Man and Salvation in Hindu Religions," "Jesus in the Qur'an") and background information given. Kung then provides an enlightening Christian response that is critical, self-critical, and mutually clarifying. The result is highly recommended to libraries for its forthrightness, honesty, and reflection of the best contemporary religious scholarship.

Store description
GloryBe Books & Ephemera, LLC is an on-line out-of-print book and ephemera marketplace. Our goal is to offer accurately described items at reasonable prices. Libraries will be able to stretch their book budgets and supplement their inventory. Academicians, bibliographers, researchers, collectors, and avid readers will discover that they can obtain a valued book or pamphlet for less than an alternative version of the original item. After over forty years in the book business there remains no greater joy than to connect an excited customer with a book or pamphlet needed to further research, add to a collection, find a favorite book to share with a child or simply locate a copy of a book written or illustrated by a family member.
GloryBe Books & Ephemera was founded by a bibliophile with nearly five decades of experience who has decided to offer his private eclectic stock for sale. Items acquired from scholars, academicians, publishers, import book distributors, private collectors and renowned booksellers will be catalogued and added on a weekly basis. We believe we will be sustained in this endeavor by your letter of appreciation that your item arrived in a timely manner, accurately described at a fair price. We look forward to hearing from you.
