| | Ethics in religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jewish ethics may be said to originate with the Hebrew Bible, its broad legal injunctions, wisdom narratives and prophetic teachings. | | | Ethics in systematic form, and apart from religious belief, is as little found in apocryphal or Judæo-Hellenistic literature as in the Bible. | | | From the point of view of theistic religions, to the extent that ethics stems from revealed truth from divine sources, ethics is studied as a branch of theology. |

| | The ethics of Jewish Evangelism |
| | We affirm that the distinctiveness of the Jewish nation in God's purposes is based on His covenant with Abraham. | | | We believe in the uniqueness of Jesus as the incarnate Son of God, the Jewish Messiah and the Saviour of the world. | | | We believe that the whole Jewish nation is "beloved for the sake of the fathers" (Romans 11:28) and therefore seek to share the Gospel message with all who are willing to hear it. |

| | Sources of Jewish Ethics |
| | The Hebrew Bible, the primary Jewish literary source, is filled with moments of ethical concern that profoundly articulate a notion of the good, the search for which constitutes a fundamental element of the tradition. | | | Jewish tradition is rich in texts that can serve as important sources of guidance for bioethics. | | | Hermann Cohen's Religion of Reason out of the Sources of Judaism is a deep philosophical reading of ethics as mediated by the Jewish tradition. |

| | Is Brit Milah Inconsistent with Jewish Ethics? |
| | Jewish women have no distinguishing mark and they are the ones who determine a child’s Jewish identity. | | | Brit Milah is a traditional ceremony handed down for thousands of years and has been an intrinsic symbol of Judaism, yet some Jewish parents are beginning to question the ceremony and some are opting not to have the procedure performed on their sons. | | | In Genesis, circumcision is referred to as “the covenant between Me and you and your offspring to follow which you shall keep...,” however, a covenant is a “mutual pledge” and some parents acknowledge that their child is not capable of making a mutual pledge (Greenberg, 241). |

| | Business ethics is the arena where the ethereal transcendent teachings of holiness and spirituality confront the often grubby business of making money and being engaged in the rat race that often comprises the marketplace. | | | It is business ethics, one could posit, above all, that shows God co-exists in the world rather than God and godliness being separate and apart. | | | It is the acid test of whether religion is truly relevant or religion is simply relegated to an isolated sphere of human activity. |

| | Conservative Judaism does not view revelation as God “talking” to the Jewish people, as it were, revealing to them exactly what it is he wants them to do. | | | Of late, however, Reform thinkershave shown new sensitivity to the teachings of the post-biblical Jewish tradition and generally seek to ground their ethical judgments in the Jewish tradition as a whole. | | | That is not to say that they do not recognize a super-halakhic realm of Jewish ethical teaching. |

| | Jewish Ethics, Torah |
| | Acceptance of divine authority for the Oral Torah defined the Jewish religion for the next fifteen hundred years after Avot, and still defines Orthodox Judaism today. | | | The second message is a bold claim for divine authority of the ‘Oral Torah’—the record of the sages’ discussions and decisions beginning from the time of Ezra, when the ‘Great Assembly’ first met. | | | However, Jews today are divided over what divine authority to assign even to the Scriptures, and over the status of traditional Jewish law, halacha. |

| | On theological grounds, it is irresponsible to the tradition because it changes the tradition's fundamental claim to be the source of truth into a claim to be simply a partial source of truth in terms of some other criterion of truth itself. | | | Particularism of this kind, unlike the transcendence of the general world by the singularity of the Jewish covenant with God, can be presented only as ethnocentricity or chauvinism [emphasis added]. | | | In exchange for what they see as the religiously authentic return to the insulation of the Jewish past, they have had to adopt basically secular political and social strategies for what they perceive as their collective survival. |
