    First published in 1948, Morals in the Melting Pot is an important historical reference work addressing some of the age-old moral dilemmas in society. Edward Griffith discusses themes like contraception, sex and religion, divorce, homosexuality, abortion, adolescent problems, preparation for marriage, and extramarital relationships. The author argues for having the capacity to appreciate moral truth and give integrity and purpose to actions which can otherwise become isolated and devoid of meaning and he says that this requires a degree of spiritual awareness which many people seem to ignore or don't even possess. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of sociology, ethics and moral philosophy.
