This volume is interested in what the Old Testament and beyond
(Dead Sea Scrolls and Targum) has to say about ethical behaviour
through its characters, through its varying portrayals of God and
humanity in mutual dialogue and through its authors. It covers a
wide range of genres of Old Testament material such as law,
prophecy and wisdom. It takes key themes such as friendship and the
holy war tradition and it considers key texts. It considers
authorial intention in the portrayal of ethical stances. It also
links up with wider ethical issues such as the environment and
human engagement with the 'dark side' of God. It is a
multi-authored volume, but the unifying theme was made clear at the
start and contributors have worked to that remit. This has resulted
in a wide-ranging and fascinating insight into a neglected area,
but one that is starting to receive increased attention in the
biblical area.
