Clarifies complex social ethics in biblical texts

You will gain a deeper understanding of ancient Israel's values

This insightful study explores the social ethics of the Hebrew Bible.

This study of the Old Testament examines the biblical statements about social ethics within a framework provided by Israel's social institutions, the social locations of its actors, and the historical struggles for power and survival that are reflected in the transmission of the texts. Each major section of the Hebrew Bible is investigated through the lens of a representative scripture passage. This clear and comprehensive introduction to the Old Testament reveals the rich mosaic of social visions in ancient Israel.
