Overview

Religious and Ethical Perspectives explores complex questions associated with health care, food, technology, peacemaking, and other twenty-first-century ethical issues. It provokes critical thought and a renewed awareness of the need to uncover unexamined assumptions that can impact decision making, while holding in tension the fact that there are no perfect answers to these issues. The essays offer substance for study and stimulate religious and ethical analysis.

A valuable resource, this text lays a foundation for inquiry and enables students to bring new insights to the many religious and ethical choices they face.

Editorial Reviews

This important book provides an American snapshot of the dramatic effects the twenty-first century context is having on ethical inquiry. With a focus on practical ethics and religion, the authors wade into age-old questions, including war, peacekeeping, politics, and healthcare, and grapple with how these interface with emergent issues, including social networking, technology, the 2008 Crash, and planetary and food ethics. Constructively, the book is not designed to arrive at answers but to expose morally relevant assumptions and questions. Using an engaging conversational tone, these United States authors explore the global consequences of our active or passive choices. This thoughtfully crafted selection of essays is meant to disrupt and unsettle the reader. Ultimately, the reader is challenged and helped to imagine new possibilities that do not always fit comfortably with established paradigms. In the classroom, this book will contribute well to the development of students' critical thinking skills and knowledge of some of the most pressing contemporary issues.
