Do Morals Matter? is an accessible and informed guide to
contemporary ethical issues that reflects upon the intersection of
religion and morality.
- An informal yet informed guide through the key ethical issues
we are facing today, from moral decision making in business and
medicine, to the uncertainty of war and terrorism, and the
condition of our environment.
- Reflects on religion’s intersection with morality,
exploring the challenge of pluralism in major world religions, and
the question of Humanism and God’s role in ethics.
- Considers the forecast of future situations that will be
affected by today’s ethical decisions.
- Questions what accounts for the variances in ethical beliefs in
different cultures, and how we properly reassess our conceptions of
ethical standards as new issues arise.
- Written by the internationally regarded Ian Markham, Dean of Hartford Seminary and author of numerous books on world religions and ethics.
