Críticas:

Christine Gudorf has done it again. With Comparative Religious Ethics, she has made another scholarly, but at the same time extraordinarily lucid and engaging, contribution to the growing field of comparative ethics. Her multifaith analysis of everyday ethical issues, and especially her practical case studies, illustrate the fundamental premise of the comparative approach to ethics (and to theology or spirituality): that we cannot truly understand ourselves unless we try to understand those genuinely different from us. --Paul F. Knitter, Paul Tillich Professor of Theology, World Religions, and Culture Union Theological Seminary, New York

Reseña del editor:

Unlike other texts, Gudorfs work focuses on common, everyday issuesincluding food and diet, work, sex and marriage, proper dress, anger and violence, charity, family, and infirmity and the elderlywhile drawing out ethical implications of each and demonstrating how different religious traditions prescribe rules for action. An introductory chapter reviews standard ethical theory and core elements of comparative religious analysis. Each chapter opens with a riveting real-life case and shows how religious ethics can shed light on how to handle the larger issues, without determining for the reader what a proper ethical response might be.
