<br>A comprehensive blueprint for the survival of the planet

In this little text, sub-titled "The Politics of Peace and the Ethics of Creation in a Threatened World", Jurgen Moltmann addresses some of the most pressing and fundamental questions of our time: How is it possible to create a world society worth living in? What positive contributions can be made in the face of the nuclear threat? What can be done to mobilise concern for the future of the environment and its natural resources? Working from an explicitly religious framework, Moltmann utilises insights both from the Bible and from Eastern religions such as Taoism to provide prespectives on these and other pressing global issues. Although barely a hundred pages long, "Creating a Just Future" presents a comprehensive blueprint for the actions that need to be undertaken to ensure the survival of the planet, in language accessible both to laymen and theologian alike.
