Questions arise from scholarly debate in Hebrew Bible ethics such
as: what is Old Testament ethics?, what is the object of study?,
what are the methods involved and how normative are Old Testament
ethics for modern contexts? These questions advance crucial issues
in the quest for understanding ethics of the ancient Hebrew mind
and the problem of how to contextualize them in modern contexts.
This book begins by exploring the relationship between the Old
Testament and Ethics, as well as a philosophical discussion on
meta-ethical presuppositions on divinity and morality in the
Psalter. The main part of the book reflects analyses of specific
psalms (Pss 16; 34; 50; 72; 104; and 133). The core of this section
reflects an illustration of psalm texts with the thematic focus on
Hebrew ethical thinking. Included are a few contextual
contributions discussing relevant ethical issues in Africa from an
African perspective. In the final section two exemplary poetic
texts from the Pentateuch (Deut 32) and the Prophets (Jer 5)
reverberate ethical thinking from other parts of the Hebrew canon.
