Bloomsbury presents To Heal a Fractured World: The Ethics of Responsibility by Jonathan Sacks, read by Daniel Epstein

Rabbi Sacks argues that preoccupation with self is a mistake and that ethics are concerned with the life we live together, talking with as much authority about Sigmund Freud or Karl Marx as he does about the Bible. With a new foreword by Rowan Williams.

‘The only force equal to a fundamentalism of hate is a counter-fundamentalism of love.’

Jonathan Sacks was an outstanding moral authority of our time and bestselling author of The Dignity of Difference. One of Judaism’s most distinctive and challenging ideas is its ethics of responsibility. We have been given the gift of freedom and we in turn have to honour and enhance the freedom of others. More than in any previous generation, we have been tempted to imagine that it is the individual’s needs which are the sole source of meaning.

This is a clarion call to the outside world to come to its senses.©2023 Tomasz Hoskins (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Judentum Philosophie Religiöse Studien

Kritikerstimmen

These paperback editions of his timeless works celebrate his legacy for today. With stunning new covers and forewords by brilliant writers from around the world, they are perfect for anyone wishing to reacquaint themselves with Rabbi Sacks’ writing, and for introducing a new generation to his evergreen wisdom.
Jonathan Sacks is one of the most eminent religious scholars of our time and his book should interest Jews and non-Jews alike.
There is much of great wisdom here, for readers of all faiths and none.' Bishop of Thetford 'A book for our time. Sacks writes with a quiet passion that is accessible to religionist and secularist alike... a desperately needed transfusion of hope.
Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks mixes stories, philosophy and theology to show Judaism's power to transform individuals and society through love and ethics. Much of what he says is equally applicable to Islam. (Ziauddin Sardar)
The Chief Rabbi's books are always worth reading and this is no exception. He writes with characteristic generosity, wisdom and passion....His reading of the Hebrew Bible is immensely subtle...Throughout he makes ethics live through many, often deeply moving stories...Reading this will deepen your understanding of the OT or of Judaism. (Nick Spencer)
[A] marvelous gift to the Jewish community and to people of all faiths and nations. I know of no contemporary author...whose ideology is so heavily invested in "social justice," who has presented the grandeur and breadth of Jewish social ideals in such a unique and absolutely elegant fashion....It should be read by every rabbi, synagogue president and Federation leader, as well as by clergy and political leaders everywhere...his inspiring contribution, and what makes this volume so extraordinary and so valuable, lies precisely in his remarkable presentation and its is applicability to the human condition...Rabbi Sacks has produced a text which should not only be read but which should be studied in every Jewish and non-Jewish education program in the English speaking world. (Stanley M Wagner)
Required reading...As always Sack's work is eminently readable. Analytical but not to the point of paralysis, Sacks holds the reader with an easy style and gripping illustrations. By the time one is midway through this excellent book you really have an understanding of where he is going in defining responsibility...A rich joy to read and a highly recommended book. (David Gifford)
...Sacks illuminates an aspirational set of principles that could be a guide to all mankind. (Jane Clements)
...powerful, timely and full of profound insights. (Ziauddin Sardar)
