The question "What is good and evil?" may seem simple, but as the book shows, it's more complex than you might think.

While teaching ethics is universally applauded, how one goes about it is much more difficult and contested than is often recognized. On Teaching and Learning Christian Ethics addresses what it means to teach and learn ethics through a thorough comparison of two ethicists, Henry Sidgwick and F. D. Maurice. Where Sidgwick understood ethics as developing a method for guiding voluntary action to what is right, Maurice maintained that ethics concerns life as a whole, and that requires placing it within a metaphysical and theological realm in which the good is much more definitive than right.

In 1960, an upstart Pittsburgh Pirates team beat the highly favored New York Yankees in the World Series. Given the power of a Yankee roster that included Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, and Yogi Berra, that improbably victory did more than give long-suffering Pirates fans something to cheer about; it put Pittsburgh on the map. Though John Moody was only six years old during that magical baseball season, he was a devoted fan of the Pittsburgh team. The star pitcher for the Pirates and John's first hero was Vernon Law - an unsophisticated Idaho country boy, widely known as The Deacon, a friendly nickname derived from his strict Mormon upbringing.

Civic education and American history have either not been taught, or have been deliberately mistaught throughout our nation's public—and in numerous cases, private education system.

పురాణాల్లో ఎన్నో నీతి కథలు ఉంటాయి. కానీ ఆ పురాణ గాధల్ని ఈ రోజుల్లో చదివే వారు తక్కువయిపోయారు. అందరి కంటే ఎక్కువ గా ఈ కాలం లో చిన్న పిల్లలకు నీతి కథలు చెప్పడం అవసరం. మనకి అందుబాటులో ఉన్న పురాణాలన్నిటిలోనుంచి ఒక 35 నీతి కథల్ని తీసుకొని 35 పురాణ నీతి గాథలు పేరిట శ్రీపాద సుబ్రహ్మణ్య శాస్త్రి గారు మన ముందుకు తీసుకొని వచ్చారు.

It is laid down at the outset that the customs of the holy life of the Church should be referred to the chief good of man, that is, God. We must seek after God with supreme affection; and this doctrine is supported in the Catholic Church by the authority of both testaments. The four virtues get their names from different forms of this love. Then, follow the duties of love to our neighbor. In the Catholic Church we find examples of continence and of true Christian conduct.

Human rights should protect the dignity and well-being of all people. But in today's deeply divided world, some argue that cultural differences and economic inequality undermine their universality.
