Religious Codes

Religious Codes explores the shared ethical and legal foundations of diverse religious communities throughout history. It examines how divine law, ethical frameworks, and community governance function within various faiths, revealing surprising commonalities beneath apparent differences. For example, many religions emphasize justice, compassion, and social responsibility, highlighting that these principles are vital for creating cohesive societies. The book argues that understanding these shared values is crucial for fostering interfaith relations and navigating an increasingly polarized world.

The book is structured to provide a comprehensive overview, beginning with an introduction to the history of religious law and ethics. It then analyzes major religious traditions like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, using a consistent framework for comparative analysis, incorporating codes like the Torah. Subsequent chapters delve into specific themes, such as family law and economic ethics, showcasing how different faiths address these issues.
