Abstract

This cluster of essays by Julia E. Judish, John P. Reeder Jr., Donald K. Swearer, and Lee H. Yearley considers benevolence as a virtue construed in various ways in different traditions.

A theme that runs throughout the essays is the relation of benevolence to religiously interpreted transformations of the self
