"Irene Oh's book provides a wonderfully clear introduction for students. I recommend it without reservation for courses dealing with religious approaches to moral and social issues."John Kelsay, Florida State University, USA
"At a time when discussions about ethics often feel imprecise and debates over religious commitments heated, Irene Oh offers this even-handed and comprehensive account of how religion influences what we believe and how we live. Whether you consider yourself religious or not, reading What is Religious Ehics? is like having a seat in Irene Oh's classroom. An accessible and thought-provoking introduction to religious ethics by a leading scholar in the field."
Elizabeth Bucar, Northeastern University, USA
"With clarity and concision, Irene Oh provides a sweeping overview of religious ethics, demonstrating its ancient roots and cutting-edge relevance. This book simultaneously attends to classic issues like authority and autonomy, as well as boldly addresses contemporary controversies like CRISPR, climate change and racism. A fantastic and much needed entree to the field."
