This ethical dictum is a part of most of the world's religions and has been considered by numerous religious figures and philosophers over the centuries. This new collection contains specially commissioned essays which take a fresh look at this guiding principle from a comparative perspective. Participants examine the formulation and significance of the Golden Rule in the world's major religions by applying four questions to the tradition they consider: What does it say? What does it mean? How does it work? How does it matter? Freshly examining the Golden Rule in broad comparative context provides a fascinating account of its uses and meaning, and allows us to assess if, how and why it matters in human cultures and societies."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aGolden rule$vComparative studies 606 $2Religious ethics 615 0$aGolden rule 676 $a205/.67 702 $aChilton$b Bruce 702 $aNeusner$b Jacob$f1932- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785491903321 996 $aThe golden rule$91907013 997 $aUNINA
