Summary:


In describing this work, McFaul (emeritus, ethics and religious studies, North Central College in Naperville, Illinois) writes that it addresses one specific question: "Will the global village be a place where the inhabitants experience an increase in peace and justice or hatred and hostility?" He explores the role that the world religions will play in shaping the answer to that question. After introducing the basic concepts underlying the discussion, he compares and contrasts the worldviews of major religions and explores the common ground between them. He then does the same with the ethics of the world religion. Finally, he applies the foregoing discussion to issues of violence; sex, sexuality, and gender, and the separation of the sacred from the secular and develops possible scenarios for the impact of the world religions on the course of the global village.
