“With Moral Traditions, I can maintain a consistent and well-informed outlook for students that will allow them to engage practical, ethical concerns that will resonate with their own concerns and choices in a way that abstract issues simply won’t. That is, my students are at that crucial age where they are forming their own character and moral outlook (as opposed to simply following their parents’ or their tradition’s). This book will allow them to cogitate and ruminate on how the religions we’re studying provide resources for thought and action on important and often controversial issues.”
