Ethical issues in six religious traditions (2nd ed)

This book 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.

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; and Global Issues.
