Contemporary Jewish Ethics and Morality: A Reader (Psychology; 2)
"Not only the first book of Jewish ethics and morality in two decades, it is also a landmark work on the leading edge of Jewish thought. One of the remarkable features of this anthology is the scope of the views it presents....Because it is accessible to a wide audience, lay persons who must face agonizing choices will find this meaningful work an excellent guide to decision-making....This anthology is an absolute necessity for the contemporary Jew who wants to strive to live a thoughtful and meaningful life. It has to be read slowly, savored, and constantly reviewed. It does not belong on the shelves of rabbis, Jewish scholars, ethicists, and ordinary people, but in their hands. It is simply the best in its field. It is post-modern and it will endure." --The Jerusalem Post Magazine"An excellent collection of articles! It is a much-needed and up-to-date replacement for Kellner'sContemporary Jewish Ethics. Exactly the book I have been waiting for to use in my Jewish Ethics course."--Jeffrey Rubenstein,New York University"Superb! Very perceptive and comprehensive in its topic. It filled out a neglected area of previous study and gave me some frameworks for evaluating Christian Ethics."--Prof. Kennard,Moody Bible Institute"Having taught Jewish Ethics for ten years, I have been searching for a textbook so comprehensive and thorough. It is a very valuable contribution to the field and a blessing for instructors and students."--Stanley Wagner,University of Denver"A valuable collection of thirty-two essays, gathered into two parts, that presents the vast resources and diversity of Jewish ethics....This collection is an essential resource to students and scholars of religious ethics, and is indispensable for college, university, and seminary libraries."--Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez,Youngstown State University
