Though it is a secular document, the \u003cem\u003eGlobal Ethic\u003c\/em\u003e emerged after months of collaborative, interreligious dialogue dedicated to identifying a common ethical framework. This volume tests and contests the claim that the \u003cem\u003eGlobal Ethic’s\u003c\/em\u003e ethical directives can be found in the world’s religious, spiritual, and cultural traditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book features essays by scholars of religion who grapple with the practical implications of the \u003cem\u003eGlobal Ethic’s\u003c\/em\u003e directives when applied to issues like women’s rights, displaced peoples, income and wealth inequality, India’s caste system, and more. The scholars explore their respective religious traditions’ ethical response to one or more of these issues and compares them to the ethical response elaborated by the \u003cem\u003eGlobal Ethic\u003c\/em\u003e. The traditions included are Hinduism, Engaged Buddhism, Shi‘i Islam, Sunni Islam, Confucianism, Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Indigenous African Religions, and Human Rights. To highlight the complexities within traditions, most essays are followed by a brief response by an expert in the same tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMulti-Religious Perspectives\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eon a Global Ethic\u003c\/em\u003e is of special interest to advanced students and scholars whose work focuses on the religious traditions listed above, on comparative religion, religious ethics, comparative ethics, and common morality. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256991961432,"sku":"9780367819958","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367819958.jpg?v=1771951523","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/multi-religious-perspectives-on-a-global-ethic-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
