This book presents a new examination of ethical dictum 'The Golden Rule' exploring its formulation and significance in relation to the world's major religions.The Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.

This ethical dictum is a part of most of the world's religions and has been considered by numerous religious figures and philosophers over the centuries.

This new collection contains specially commissioned essays which take a fresh look at this guiding principle from a comparative perspective.

Participants examine the formulation and significance of the Golden Rule in the world's major religions by applying four questions to the tradition they consider: What does it say?

What does it mean? How does it work? How does it matter?Freshly examining the Golden Rule in broad comparative context provides a fascinating account of its uses and meaning, and allows us to assess if, how and why it matters in human cultures and societies.
