Ethics of World Religions
Revised Edition
This book examines the ethics and the religious reasoning in the religions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Australian Aboriginal religions.
Each chapter opens with a time line of main dates for the religion being explored. The writers trace the development of the ethical system through examining the historical context. Contemporary moral and social challenges, such as attitudes towards the environment and changing understandings about the role of women, are also examined for each religion.
Substantially revised, this edition of 'Set Your Heart On Goodness' contains a glossary of terms, recommended reading, and practical activities for the person undertaking a study of ethics in world religions.
