Abrahamic Ethics: A Framework for Global Problem-Solving

Exposing the superficial religious attitude, the prophet Isaiah recorded: “This people draw near to me with their mouths and honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” (Isaiah 29:13) This piercing critique cuts through the veneer of hollow devotion like a knife through butter, revealing a faith that is skin-deep.
