A new edition of this bestseller, the only book to cover this
range of ethical issues with attention both to the roundedness and
individual integrity of each religious tradition and to focused
issues which are of contemporary interest.
The format of the book has not changed. It provides for parallel
study of the values held by different communities, exploring the
ethical foundations of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam. Each section introduces a different
religion and sets the wider context within which more specific
questions can be asked. Individual topics can be accessed and
understood not only within a tradition as a whole but also across
traditions through careful indexing. The following topics are then
addressed as appropriate to the given traditions:
Religious Identity and Authority
Personal and Private?
Marriage and Family
Influence on and Use of Time and Money
Quality and Value of Life
Questions of Right and Wrong
Equality and Difference
National Divisions, War and Peace
Global Issues

within a tradition as a whole but also across traditions through
