Israel and Palestine, Northern Ireland, the Sudan, the Balkans, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and the Caucasus are just some of the areas of intractable conflict, apparently inspired or exacerbated by religious differences. Can devoted Jews, Christians, or Muslims remain true to their own fundamental beliefs and practices, yet also find paths toward liberty, tolerance, and respect for those of other faiths?In this vitally important book, fifteen influential practitioners of the Abrahamic religions address religious liberty and tolerance from the perspectives of their own faith traditions. Former President Jimmy Carter, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Indonesia's first democratically elected president, Abdurrahman Wahid, and the other writers draw on their personal experiences and on the sacred writings that are central in their own religious lives. Rather than relying on "pure reason," as secularists might prefer, the contributors celebrate religious traditions and find within them a way toward mutual peace, uncompromised liberty, and principled tolerance. Offering a counterbalance to incendiary religious leaders who cite Holy Writ to justify intolerance and violence, the contributors reveal how tolerance and respect for believers in other faiths stands at the core of the Abrahamic traditions. 606 $aFreedom of religion 606 $aReligious tolerance 606 $aAbrahamic religions 606 $aReligions$xRelations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFreedom of religion. 615 0$aReligious tolerance. 615 0$aAbrahamic religions. 615 0$aReligions$xRelations. 676 $a201/.5 701 $aClark$b Kelly James$f1956-$0848953 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462074403321 996 $aAbraham's children$92488826 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03654oam 22006494 450 001 996214860403316 005 20230213224111.0 010 $a0-674-99480-9 035 $a(CKB)3820000000012045 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001417987 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11782139 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001417987 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11386790 035 $a(PQKB)10460453 035 $a(OCoLC)899735957 035 $a(MaCbHUP)hup0000536 035 $a(EXLCZ)993820000000012045 100 $a20141025d1965 my 1 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn|||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFables /$fBabrius ; with an English translation by Ben Edwin Perry 210 1$aCambridge, MA :$cHarvard University Press,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource 225 1 $aLoeb Classical Library ; $v436 300 $aIncludes indexes. 327 $aINTRODUCTION: The aesopic fable in antiquity.

From the same period come the lively fables in Latin verse written by Phaedrus, which satirize social and political life in Augustan Rome.$bBabrius is the reputed author of a collection (discovered in the 19th century) of more than 125 fables based on those called Aesop's, in Greek verse. He may have been a hellenised Roman living in Asia Minor during the late 1st century of our era. The fables are all in one metre and in very good style, humorous and pointed. Some are original. Phaedrus, born in Macedonia, flourished in the early half of the 1st century of our era. Apparently a slave set free by the emperor Augustus, he lived in Italy and began to write Aesopian fables. When he offended Sejanus, a powerful official of the emperor Tiberius, he was punished but not silenced. The fables, in five books, are in lively terse and simple Latin verse not lacking in dignity. They not only amuse and teach but also satirise social and political life in Rome. This edition includes a comprehensive analytical Survey of Greek and Latin fables in the Aesopic tradition, as well as a historical introduction. 606 $aClassical poetry$xTranslations into English 606 $aClassical poetry 606 $aFables, Classical$xStories, plots, etc 606 $aFables, Classical$xTranslations into English 606 $aFables, Classical 606 $aClassical poetry$3(OCoLC)863547$2fast 606 $aFables, Classical$3(OCoLC)919395$2fast 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)$3(OCoLC)972484$2fast 615 0$aClassical poetry$xTranslations into English. 615 0$aClassical poetry. 615 0$aFables, Classical$xStories, plots, etc. 615 0$aFables, Classical$xTranslations into English. 615 0$aFables, Classical. 615 7$aClassical poetry 615 7$aFables, Classical 615 7$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 700 $aBabrius$0167433 702 $aPhaedrus 702 $aPerry$b B.
