Moral Compass

"Moral Compass: The Role of Religious Ethics in Shaping Modern Laws" provides a comprehensive examination of how religious morals influence contemporary legal systems. This book fills a critical gap in the current scholarship by offering an in-depth analysis of the intersection between religion and law, exploring the historical and ongoing impact of various religious ethical systems on legal frameworks across different cultures. Through a comparative approach, it highlights the ethical principles of major world religions-Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism-and their practical implications for modern jurisprudence. Each chapter delves into historical contexts, contemporary legal systems, and ethical debates within each religious tradition, providing rich case studies and theoretical insights. By addressing contemporary ethical challenges such as bioethics, human rights, environmental law, economic justice, and gender equality, this book presents a nuanced understanding of the relevance and application of religious ethics in today's globalized world. "Moral Compass" is essential reading for legal scholars, ethicists, theologians, and lawmakers.
