Religious Ethics: The Basics

by Robin Gill

Religious Ethics: The Basics is a concise introduction to religious views and responses to some of the most important ethical issues we face today. While recognising that there is rarely a homogenous view within any religion, the book draws on examples from Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, Indian/Hindu, Chinese and African traditions in discussing key issues such as:





The problem of evil

Death, dying and euthanasia

War, peace and Just War

IVF and genetic engineering

The environment and sustainability

Featuring a glossary and suggestions for further reading, this is the ideal starting point for anyone seeking to understand the contribution made to ethical debates by the world 's largest religious traditions.
