Ethische Begriffe in biblischer Perspektive

How do ethical arguments relate to biblical texts, and what normative conclusions can be drawn from biblical motifs? By means of 30 ethical concepts, this book provides a quick overview of a biblical perspective. For each concept, the current state of discourse on the respective topic is sketched. This is followed by a biblical section that is interpreted and brought to bear on the interpretation of the respective basic concept. The selection is justified and set against alternative biblical texts. The interpretations are situated in relation to the biblical texts in a contemporary way. The book thus works well as both a reference work and a textbook. Readers gain quick information about ethical problems and current approaches to their solution. At the same time, the book offers access to the theological debate about what function biblical texts can still play at all in ethical discourses.
