The central aim of this book is to attempt to determine the
response of the classic texts of Jewish traditions to the famous
dilemma posed in Plato's Euthyphro: Does God freely determine
morality, or is morality independent of God? The author argues that
the picture that emerges from Jewish texts is significantly more
complex and nuanced than most of the contemporary Jewish
philosophical literature is prepared to concede. While providing an
extensive discussion of the perspective of Jewish tradition on
divine command ethics, this book develops a position that is
distinct from and critical of other views that have recently been
advanced in Jewish scholarship. At the same time, the book provides
a substantial analysis of some Christian perspectives on divine
command ethics. Relevant biblical, rabbinic and later Jewish texts
are discussed, as well as some of the relevant views that have been
taken in philosophical literature and in Christian and Jewish
thought.
