Description
Establishing relevance in contemporary ethics can be a challenging task. John Barton argues that many areas of ethical inquiry can benefit from Old Testament teachings, despite their seemingly alien context. In this new edition of "Ethics and the Old Testament", Barton revisits key topics such as the Ten Commandments, ecology, sexual morality, property, human dignity, and the motivation for moral conduct. He explores how the powerful minds behind the Old Testament books can still offer valuable insights into our own moral enquiries. Barton's aim is to demonstrate that despite the remote context of the Old Testament, its teachings remain evocative and suggestive for modern moral discussions.
