AbstractThe authors illustrate how ancient stories have been appropriated to provide ethical orientation in the modern world. They show how contemporary ethical activists such as Gandhi and the spiritual "children of Gandhi" from diverse religious traditions--Martin Luther King,Jr.,Abraham Joshua Heschel,and Thich Nhat Hanh--drew upon ancient stories such as the Bhagavad-Gita, the life of Jesus, the story of Abraham,and the life of Buddha, and on traditional spiritual practices such as fasting,prayer,and meditation,to forge a new inter-religious ethic of nonviolence. This ethic responds to the prejudice,hatred,and violence of the twentieth century as symbolized by Auschwitz and Hiroshima. (Publisher)
