Reviews

"This survey, written by an ecumenical team of authors scanning the ethical teaching of the New Testament, is drawn from a larger resource, the Dictionary of Scripture and Ethics. . . . [The contributions] give the reader a sense of the many issues involved in the serious and compelling work of turning to the New Testament for ethical guidance in today's world."

Donald Senior, CP,

The Bible Today

"This book is explicitly derived from the earlier, much larger volume, Dictionary of Scripture and Ethics. . . . Why this book? A reasonable answer is: to provide a volume that in both size and cost is suitable for use in an undergraduate classroom as an introductory text. . . . It fits that niche quite well. The same excellent contributors are allowed to speak to a wider audience. . . . This is a valuable book for its intended function, and the bibliographies with each essay will guide a student to other works in a very useful way. If I teach Christian ethics to undergraduates again, I will very probably select this work."

Wendell Willis,

Catholic Biblical Quarterly

"[A] highly readable volume. . . . Utilizing key articles previously published in the acclaimed Dictionary of Scripture and Ethics, the present volume makes a short and yet impressive supplementary classroom textbook. . . . The book-focused essays of approximately two to three pages in length are written with clarity and evident concern to sketch the moral issues explicitly addressed in every book of the NT. . . . This is a much-needed textbook."

Beniamin Pascut,

Religious Studies Review

"This convenient text makes essays selected from [the Dictionary of Scripture and Ethics] more readily available for use in classroom and personal study, providing a book-by-book survey."

Interpretation

"Recommend to customers taking . . . New Testament courses."
