Oxford Handbook of Jewish Ethics and Morality

For thousands of years the Jewish tradition has been a source of moral guidance for Jews and non-Jews alike. As the essays in this volume show the theologians and practitioners of Judaism have a long history of wrestling with moral questions responding to them in an open argumentative mode that reveals the strengths and weaknesses of all sides of a question. The Jewish tradition also offers guidance for moral conduct by individuals communities and countries and shows how to motivate people to do the good and right thing.
