Since the revised edition of William C. Spohn's What Are They Saying About Scripture and Ethics? was last published in 1995, there have been significant developments in the field of ethics. This book provides an up-to-date review and critique of those recent developments. Lúcás Chan reviews and critiques the major attempts at biblical ethics over the past twenty years by both biblical theologians and theological ethicists, focusing on New Testament ethics as an illustration. His is the first attempt in twenty years by a Catholic theologian. Chan advocates that a true biblical ethics needs to have the exegetical work of biblical theologians and the interpretive work of theological ethicists. He argues that a hermeneutics of virtue ethics is a very worthy method for bringing our findings to ethical expression. -- Provided by publisher.
