| Summary |
"The Promise of World Peace" by Universal House of Justice is a spiritual publication written in the late 20th century. This book discusses the precepts and principles necessary for achieving world peace, emphasizing the interconnectedness of humanity and the responsibilities that come with it. The work reflects on the evolution of human society towards unity and the challenges that arise from entrenched conflict and division. In the book, Universal House of Justice outlines a vision for achieving global harmony, arguing that true peace cannot be attained solely through political treaties but requires a fundamental shift in societal values, particularly a recognition of the oneness of humanity. They examine the root causes of conflict, including nationalism, racism, and economic disparities, and advocate for a collective commitment to spiritual principles and moral attitudes as the foundation for a peaceful coexistence. The book urges worldwide cooperation and consultation to build a cohesive global framework that transcends individual national interests, ultimately envisioning a united and equitable world where peace is not just an absence of war, but a shared responsibility among all peoples.
