Detailed description is . World Scripture and the Teachings of Sun Myung Moon builds on the foundation of World Scripture: a Comparative Anthology of Sacred Texts (1991). That volume was a pioneering work in the annals of religious literature. Never before were the scriptures of the world’s religions examined so systematically to illuminate their universal teachings and underscore their common ground. Never before had a major work drawing on sacred texts articulated a vision of interreligious compatibility and harmony. Conventional textbooks treat each religion separately, comparing similarities and differences. The religions are viewed as outgrowths of humanity’s diverse cultures and historical contexts. According to this pluralistic and somewhat relativistic perspective, the religions propose irreconcilable truth claims. Such a manner of presentation does little to disclose the common ground among religions, or the fact that the unifying force behind all religion is the one God, who in His love has been raising people of every culture to knowledge of His truth.. In the past it was fashionable to believe that religious differences were indeed irreconcilable and that, therefore, in the march of history towards globalization and a technologically advanced world civilization, religions were destined to decline and disappear. Nevertheless, Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon commissioned World Scripture based upon the firm conviction that religions have a key role to play in building world peace in the 21st century. Knowing the fundamental power of religion to mold thought and culture, from the beginning of his ministry he taught of the need for. interreligious harmony and unity as a necessary pre-requisite for world peace. In the 1970s, after his ministry had expanded beyond Asia to the West, Father Moon began to sponsor annual dialogues for reconciliation among religions, including the Assembly of the World’s Religions in 1985, 1990 and 1992. It was shortly after the first of these Assemblies that he outlined his concept for World Scripture: A Comparative Anthology of Sacred Texts. He enlisted the support of an Editorial Board of forty distinguished scholars drawn from the religions of the world, and with their guidance that book was published six years later.. Although initially Father Moon’s vision of and activism on behalf of interreligious unity was misunderstood and considered to be impractical and unrealistic, today people everywhere recognize that the world has no viable alternative. We experience the violence, fear and anxiety of a world in travail, as global linkages of communication and commerce are undermined by tensions that arise from persistent cultural and religious misunderstanding, prejudice and conflict. If a new global civilization of peace is to survive its birth pangs, people must forge bonds of fraternity across civilizations and especially between religions. And to enlist the religions in peacebuilding requires an awareness of their shared values. These shared values are widespread in scriptures and the daily practice of the faithful, and they give the lie to the extremist agitation to tribalism, intolerance and fear of difference. These values include: the Golden Rule, respect for the rights of every human being, self-mastery, moral restraint, family, charity, forgiveness and peace under the gracious sovereignty of the one God.. By highlighting these shared values, World Scripture: A Comparative Anthology of Sacred Texts demonstrated that the common ground among religions is in reality vast and deep. It called on believers to focus on these points of shared understanding, rather than fixating on the differences. It was written with the hope that when believers of every tradition are informed by these common values, they can defuse religious enmity and mobilize their religions as positive forces for world peace..
