Sinopsis

Using the theoretical approach he introduced in his acclaimed Religious Reason (Oxford, 1978), and drawing on contemporary rationalist ethical theory as well as a variety of religious traditions and issues, Ronald M. Green here provides a simple, effective model for understanding the complexity of religious life. He shows clearly and convincingly that the basic processes of religious reasoning are the same everywhere and that they give rise, in perfectly understandable ways, to the rich diversity of religious expression worldwide. This is a major resource for courses in the philosophy of religion.

Críticas

"[A] careful and historically informed study....I recommend this further development of Green's Religious Reason (1978) for study by ethicists and comparative scholars, as well as by seminary students and the inclusive ecumenical community."--Journal of Ecumenical Studies "[A] fascinating study of the structure of religion....A very interesting contribution to our understanding of religion and one from which we can learn much."--Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society "Students of religion may, and I think most certainly should, avail themselves of Green's brilliant Kantian interpretation and description of religion in history and culture."--The Journal of Religion "Addresses important issues about the relation of religion and morality in a comprehensive fashion."--Interpretation "A timely and important study....Green illustrates his thesis with analyses of Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, Judaism, and several African religions. Regarding monotheism, Green supplies a careful study of divine command ethics. And not the least valuable aspect of the book are discussions of the writings of Kierkegaard and Kant, welcome supplements to inadequate interpretive work on these thinkers. A valuable addition."--Choice

Reseña del editor

This book examines the rational basis of moral and ethical beliefs in the world's great religious traditions: Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the traditional religions of China and Africa. It is in effect a sequel to the same author's Religious Reason (OUP 1978), which was hailed as `one of the most important books in ethics and religious studies of the decade'.
