Summary

How can biblical texts be read ethically? Do they serve as a source of stimulation for current ethical debates, for forming a moral character, or for an orientation for the moral statements of Christian communities and beyond? This volume is focused on the purview and relevance of biblical, particularly New Testament, texts on several levels: intratextual signals of moral significance and socio-historical contexts as well as the impact of the texts by their reading throughout the centuries in different ethical debates.
