Why is it important?
The second half of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries have witnessed a revival of the Golden Rule arguments in relation to the idea of religious toleration.Inspired by three groundbreaking texts, Nostra Aetate (1965), Dabru Emet (2000), and A Common Word (2007), representatives of all three monotheisms have produced a number of important commentaries, responses, and critiques with the purpose of clarifying some key points that both unite and separate the interpretations of their common doctrinal and moral teachings.
Perspectives
An interfaith dialogue based on the commonly accepted dimensions of the Golden Rule has the merit of asserting at the same time both similarities and differences, with the general aim of not only defusing tensions, but also of establishing love of neighbor, full acceptance, goodwill, moderation and peace.
