Description

"There is such a thing as an ecology of hope, and it lies in restoring to our
culture a sense of family, community and religious faith. The great question
facing the liberal democracies of the West is whether it can be done. I believe
it can, and that is the theme of many of the chapters in this book. These values
never die, though occasionally - as now - they suffer an eclipse. If Judaism
and the history of the Jewish people have a message for our time, it is surely
this. Faith in the future changes lives and rebuilds the ruins of Jerusalem."
- Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
Faith in the Future addresses some of the major themes of our time: the
fragmentation of our common culture, the breakdown of family and com-
munity life, the lack of moral direction and the waning of religious belief.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks asks: How can we construct a humane social
order that honors human dignity and difference, one in which we can be
both true to ourselves and a blessing to others? In the turbulent state of the
modern world, can we give those who come after us a coherent map of hope?
The four sections of the book lay out a plan for what Rabbi Sacks calls "an
ecology of hope": In "The Moral Covenant," he touches on the broadest of
issues: morality, the family and the importance of communities in the life
of society. In "Living Together," he asks how we can co-exist while remain-
ing faithful to our distinctive identities and traditions. In "Holy Days," he
describes how Judaism lives out its beliefs, and in "Jewish Ethics and Spiri-
tuality," he sketches some of Judaism's leading themes.
Faith in the Future was first published in 1995, but the questions addressed
are today more relevant than ever. All those concerned about the state of
contemporary society, of any faith com-
munity or none, will find Faith in the
Future
profound, challenging and deeply
moving.
