Synopsis

This is an introduction to the values and ethical issues of six of the world's most significant religious traditions. It looks in turn at Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, examining each faith's concerns in areas such as authority (what is the role of a leader?), private life (is homosexuality frowned upon?), marriage and the family (what are the attitudes to marital breakdown?), use of time and money, the value of life, equality and difference, national divisions and global issues. Containing addresses and a bibliography for further study, this introduction is intended for those with no previous knowledge who seek both an understanding of the viewpoints of other faiths, and areas of common exchange. It should be useful for: students and teachers of religious studies, ethics, education and politics in schools, colleges and universities; social workers; the police; and the health and caring professions.
