Description
A study which explores how the Old Testament teaches ethical behaviour. It can sometimes be difficult for the modern reader to know whether the author of an Old Testament book is commending or condemning certain acts. This work look at the ethical models of behaviour offered in Genesis and Judges and focuses on the attitudes of the authors of the books rather than the actions of the characters of the stories.
