Summary
The study of ethics and the Hebrew Bible either side of the new millennium has generally fallen into two categories: a more traditional genre of ‘Old Testament ethics’, in which remarks on the biblical text are undertaken from a confessional and normative perspective, and more recent forays into the ‘ethics of ancient Israel’, which investigate the text from a historical perspective and reflect varying degrees of interest or attention to contemporary concerns. The aim of the essays in this volume is to bring these two scholarly enterprises into conversation.
