About the Authors
Index

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. (From the Publisher)
