In a postmodern world characterized by cultural relativism, what does it mean to make an ethical decision? What is the link between doing good and being good? Is there a moral consensus among world religions on such issues as peace, human rights, and ecology? Should the moral and religious spheres be separated in civil society?

Ruland offers what he proposes: an 'ethics of loyal scrutiny' that deserves a wide and appreciative readership.——William O'Neill, America
