| Tóm tắt/ chú giải | : | This is a volume on the Old Testament and Christian ethics. It attempts to relate the testimonies and stories of Israel's faith as recorded in the Hebrew canon to the character and conduct of Christians and the Christian community in our own time. It tries to bridge from the Old Testament as ancient testimony to the need for moral resources in the modern church as it faces the ethical issues of a complex and challenging time. The task here is not to discuss those issues as such, but to select and focus elements of the Old Testament traditions that can inform and undergird the tasks of Christian ethics related to any set of specific issues. Simply put, the purpose of this volume is to make the Old Testament more readily accessible to the concerns of Christian ethics in the life of the church and to scholars in the service of the church. In the dialogue between scripture and Christian ethics this volume attempts to clarify and give fuller voice to the scripture pole of the dialogue by making the Old Testament more fully available to the Christian life as a moral resource. |
