"In this provocative and engaging book, author Brian Lepard asserts there is indeed hope for a global ethic. Surprisingly, the evidence that leads to his conclusion is embedded in the scriptures of the world’s religions. Reviewing the sacred texts of seven world religions—Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, Islam, and the Bahá’í Faith—Hope for a Global Ethic identifies numerous ethical principles found in the sacred writings of all of these faiths."
