Here are a few examples of religious philosophers who hold to different ethical theories:
- Divine command theory: Thomas Aquinas, William of Ockham, John Calvin.
- Natural law theory: Thomas Aquinas, Hugo Grotius, John Locke.
- Virtue ethics: Aristotle, Al-Ghazali, Thomas Aquinas, Dietrich von Hildebrand.
- Utilitarianism: John Stuart Mill, Henry Sidgwick, William James.
- Kantian ethics: Immanuel Kant, H. J. McCloskey, Onora O'Neill.
- Ethics of care: Carol Gilligan, Nel Noddings, Virginia Held.
This list is just a small sample of the many different ethical theories that religious philosophers have defended. There is no one single "religious ethic" that all religious philosophers agree on, and in fact, there is a great deal of diversity and debate among religious philosophers about ethical issues.
