'One of the world's great voices for moral, spiritual, and historical
awareness and for global peace' - The John Templeton Foundation
**
'One of the great moral thinkers of our time' - Robert D. Putnam, author
of Bowling Alone**
With a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales
Following his death in November 2020, voices from around the world
celebrated Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks' incalculable contribution to the
religious life of the Jewish community, as well as the global
conversation on issues of ethics and morality.
This volume brings together the most compelling selection of Jonathan
Sacks' BBC Radio broadcasts, columns from The Times, and a range of
articles published in the world's most respected newspapers, along with
his House of Lords speeches and keynote lectures.
First heard and read in many different contexts, these pieces
demonstrate with striking coherence the developing power of Sacks'
ideas, on faith and philosophy alike. In each instance he brings to bear
deep insights into the immediate situation at the time - and yet it is
as if we hear him speaking to us afresh, giving us new strength to face
the challenges and complexities of today's world.
His words of faith and wisdom shine as a beacon of enduring light in an
increasingly conflicted cultural climate, and prove the timeless nature
and continued relevance of his thought and teachings.
The choice with which humankind is faced is between the idea of power
and power of ideas.
