An inclusive and innovative account of religious ethical thinking
and acting in the world. Rather than merely applying existing forms
of philosophical ethics, Religious Ethics defines the meaning of
the field and presents a distinct and original method for ethical
reflection through comparisons of world religious traditions.
Written by leading scholars and educators in the field, this unique
volume offers an innovative approach that reveals how religions
concur and differ on moral matters, and provides practical guidance
on thinking and living ethically. The book's innovative
method--integrating descriptive, normative, practical, fundamental,
and metaethical dimensions of reflection--enables a far more
complex and nuanced exploration of religious ethics than any single
philosophical language, method, or theory can equal. First
introducing the task of religious ethics, the book moves through
each of the five dimensions of reflection to compare concepts such
as good and evil, perplexity and wisdom, truth and illusion, and
freedom and bondage in various theological contexts. Guides readers
on understanding, assessing, and comparing the moral teachings and
practices of world religions Applies a disciplined, scholarly
approach to the subject of religious ethics Explores the
distinctions between religious ethics and moral philosophy Provides
a methodology which can be applied to comparative ethics for
various religions Compares religious traditions to illuminate each
of the five dimensions of ethical and moral reflection Religious
Ethics: Meaning and Method will help anyone interested in the
relation between religion and ethics in the modern world, including
those involved in general and comparative religion studies,
religious and comparative ethics, and moral theory.
