Religious Perspectives Database
Different religious traditions approach ethical and political questions in diverse but related ways. The
Religious Perspectives Database allows users to compare and contrast key scriptural passages across five
traditions and five themes. Behind the individual cells of the grid you will find short essays on how each
tradition approaches each theme, and links to key scriptural passages.
