    The Ethical / Legal Dimension. The laws, formal and moral, that come out of any system. Runs the gamut from the extensive and complex set of enforceable Mosaic laws to the variable, unwritten set of Christian taboos.

  2. The ethical and legal dimension: This covers religious rules and laws that stem from the narrative and doctrinal aspects of each tradition. By following the various laws or commandments, the believer seeks to lead a virtuous life. In the Jewish Torah there are 613 mitzvah or commandments and in Islam there is the sharia law. In Polynesian traditions there is the concept of tapu (taboo) that limits or forbids a wide range of activities, for example limiting who may, or may not, collect shellfish from a given location or at certain times of year.

    The Ethical and legal dimension of religion are the rules and law that govern human behaviour, which all should adhere to in order to have fulfilment in our everyday relationship with God.

  9. the ethical and legal dimension of a religion are the rules and laws which govern that religion and its people. there are some things that we are not expected to do when we are apart of a particular religion for example un hinduism a woman of a higher caste is forbiden to marry a man of a lower caste.

  11. They are norms, ways of behavior. Then what is expected of believers because religion has standard ways of behavior. Religion is the major factor in influencing the ethical, moral attitudes of society and in our societies;even religiously ethicsl values tend to be relatives although the ideal may remsin the same. Many people don't leave to throw ethical expectations,then we judge them an wrong. Islam telldvus peace, African tradition religion centers on togetherness and Christianity centers in love.
