Item Description...
Product Description
Nothing confuses Christian ethics quite like the Old Testament. Some faithful readers struggle through its pages and conclude that they must obey its moral laws but may disregard its ceremonial and civil laws. Others abandon its teaching altogether in favor of a strictly New Testament ethic. Neither option, argues Chris Wright, gives the Old Testament its due.In this innovative approach to Old Testament ethics--fully revised, updated and expanded since its first appearance in 1983 as Living as the People of God (An Eye for an Eye in North America) and including material from Walking in the Ways of the Lord--Wright examines a theological, social and economic framework for Old Testament ethics. Then he explores a variety of themes in relation to contemporary issues: economics, the land and the poor; politics and a world of nations; law and justice; society and culture; and the way of the individual.This fresh, illuminating study provides a clear basis for a biblical ethic that is faithful to the God of both Testaments.

 | Book review Feb 9, 2008 |
| Christopher Wright presents scholarly insights into the Old Testament and Hebrew culture which need to be re-understood to better appreciate Western culture and its roots. This book is highly recommended for those who care to move beyond a superficial understanding of the Bible and superficial Christian faith. | | | Write your own review about Old Testament Ethics for the People of God
