Customer Reviews:
Exceptional classroom textbook and personal reference!
By Louise M. Doire - January 29, 2002As a member of the Religious Studies Department at a liberal arts college, I found this book to be invaluable as a textbook for my Comparative Religious Ethics course, and as a personal reference for the history of ethics as expressed through the world's major religious traditions. The narrative approach utilized by the authors provides a wonderfully compelling and unique methodological alternative to what might otherwise have been a dry and prosaic treatment. The ancient "stories" of each tradition, ie., Krisna and Arjuna, Job, Jesus, Siddhartha Gautama, Muhammad, are presented as foundational for the ethical development within each tradition and are subsequently juxtaposed against a "modern" story of a figure, ie., Gandhi, Rabbi Abraham Heschel, Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosemary Reuther, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Malcolm X, who utilized the ethical foundations of that tradition within the contexts of their lives. The underlying thesis of the book, that within the... read more
Invaluable for any college student regardless of major!
By Richard Callaby - January 1, 2002What is the goal of this book? To teach the reader and the student that in the world there exists more than one way to examine an ethical issue. This book does a fabulous job of presenting the reader with a cornucopia of ancient stories that allowed modern day civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Joshua Heschel, and Thich Nhat Hanh to come to their conclusions. The authors present the ancient stories of the Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus to allow the reader a broad perspective on the major religious movements throughout time. These stories start with the most ancient of stories, the story of Gilgamesh. Through the use of this narrative the authors present their views on ethics and religion and how it affects us today. The ever pervasive shift in modern human identity is one of the major "working issues" that all religions worldwide are facing today. Most importantly this book will help to clarify some of the misconceptions of the Muslim... read more
Insightful and Profound
By Scott W. Gustafson - February 26, 2008A Previous reviewer claimed that Comparative Religious Ethics was no more insightful than a high school comparative religion course he or she had taken. All I can say is that that must of been one fantastic course!! This review is from someone whose high school experience was less enriching.
The authors do two things in this book that are unique and, in my opinion, advance the field of comparative religious studies. First, they consistently distinguish between the sacred and the holy. The sacred is of human origin. It is what the culture - probably with the sanction of religious authorities - says is good, valuable or godly. The holy refers to the experience of the Wholly Other God. It is in the name of the Holy that the sacred is critiqued. In the authors' view, all religions (and cultures) have a few people who critique the sacred in the name of the holy. This is the common ethical task of all religious ethics.
The authors' second innovation recognizes that... read more
