How can the stories of the Hebrew Bible be read for their ethical
value? Eryl W. Davies uses the narratives of King David in order to
explore this, basing his argument on Martha Nussbaum's notion that
a sensitive and informed commentary can unpack the complexity of
fictional accounts. Davies discusses David and Michal in 1 Sam.
19:11-17; David and Jonathan in 1 Sam. 20; David and Bathsheba in 2
Sam. 11; Nathan's parable in 2 Sam. 12; and the rape of Tamar in 2
Sam. 13. By examining these narratives, Davies shows that a
fruitful and constructive dialogue is possible between biblical
ethics and modern philosophy. He also emphasizes the ethical
accountability of biblical scholars and their responsibility to
evaluate the moral teaching that the biblical narratives have to
offer.
