"World Perspectives, is a program to bring to the public, seminal books in a variety of fields by the most distinguished of contemporary thinkers and world leaders. To interpret the creative forces at work today in the East as well as the West. World Perspective represents and presents the world community of ideas, the principle of unity in mankind and permanence within change. In this volume 54, a distinguished historian, Morton Smith, known especially for his work on the history of religion, diagnoses our contemporary confusion as a 'crisis of hope.' Many of the hopes that hitherto motivated western civilization have been discredited and widely abandoned; more have been called into question; we are now generally uncertain as to what we hope. To clarify the problem, the author surveys both the role of hope in shaping history, and the many ways in which history has shaped hopes, and then finally the basic character and goals of hope $18.00USD
