Toward Old Testament Ethics

by Walter C. Kaiser Jr.

Book Overview

Biblical ethics is a subject that has been almost totally neglected in this century.

Excellent book

This is a most excellent book in all respects. It preserves the integrity of the Bible and of the Lord bringing into discussion Old Testament ethical life and its applicability to us today. I especially enjoyed its discussions on marriage and its banishments of hyperliteralism.

Deals with most of the touchier ethical questions raised

I used this book as a resource for a sunday school lesson I taught on War and the Christian. He deals with most of the relevant passages. I wouldn't rely on this book alone, but it is a good starting place. I would also recommend Norman Geisler as an authority on the areas discussed in Kaiser's book.
