| 总结: | Does religious extremism represent an inevitable consequence of firmly held beliefs in life-and-death situations? Is there a way out? Gathering ethicists and scholars from the three major and often conflicting monotheistic traditions, each was asked to correlate a religious tradition's sacred texts and tradition with the contemporary world's pluralism and claims about the inalienable sanctity and dignity of human life. The result is that the reader sees "human life before God" in new and profound ways. Introduction / Michael A. Johnson, Kevin Jung, and William Schweiker -- Part I: The distinctiveness of human being -- Monotheism and humanism / Hilary Putnam -- Human vicegerency : a blessing or a curse? : the challenge to be God's Caliph in the Qur'an / Abdulaziz Sachedina -- Embodying God's image : created, broken, and redeemed / Lisa Sowle Cahill -- The image of God and the human ideal : reflections from the varieties of Judaism / Michael Fishbane -- Distinctive love : gratitude for life and theological humanism / William Schweiker -- The image, the glory and the holy : aspects of being human in biblical thought / Tikva Frymer-Kensky -- Creation and initiative : a reading of Ricoeur's ethics of originary affirmation / Michael A.
