Religion and Moral Reason - by Ronald M. Green

Description: Religion and Moral Reason by Ronald M. Green paperback in good used condition, no markings to text "Using the theoretical approach he introduced in the acclaimed Religious Reason (Oxford, 1978), Ronald M. Green here offers a powerful new tool for the comparative study of religion, based on the most recent work in moral phi-losophy, and dealing entirely with ethical questions. Religion and Moral Reason 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. Rather than focusing on the puzzling differences between religions, this book outlines the universal "deep structure" of moral reasoning and applies its insights to a wide spectrum of religious thought and practice, with examples from all the great religious traditions of the world, from non-literate, "pri-mal" religions to the developed ethical monotheisms. Green goes on to show how universal structures of thought underlie even the most explicit religious teachings about human conduct. He further explores the moral implications of religious ritual, the social and economic precepts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, and the role of religious literature in teaching the art of moral reasoning."
