The Path of God: Declaration Towards a Global Ethic and the Bahá’í Faith, Parts 1 and 2

Abstract

1. PART I In this first part of the presentation, the Global Ethic will be compared with the Bahá'í Faith; this comparison was suggested by the commentary of the German theologian Hans Küng, who prepared the text of the `Declaration Towards a Global Ethic' in 1993 for the Parliament of the World's Religions: "It will now be an enjoyable task for the scholars of the various religions to work out the project for a global ethic further in the light of their own religions and to bring out three things: How strongly the `Declaration Towards a Global Ethic' is rooted in their own tradition; How far their own tradition corresponds with other ethical traditions; How far their own tradition has a distinctive, specific, special contribution to make to the ethic."
