The Persistence of Faith

The book explores the complex relationship between faith and ethics, emphasizing the importance of maintaining open dialogue within religious communities while actively participating in national moral debates. Dr. Sacks asserts that a cohesive morality is rooted in faith, drawing on the rich Jewish tradition of rational ethical thought. He challenges the notion that modernity equates to secularization, highlighting the resurgence of religion in public life. Advocating for a return to tradition amid religious pluralism, he argues for the renewal of religious values as essential for a viable society.
