Some faithful readers struggle through its pages and conclude that they must obey its moral laws but may disregard its ceremonial and civil laws. Others abandon its teaching altogether in favor of a strictly New Testament ethic. Neither option, argues Chris Wright, gives the Old Testament its due.In this innovative approach to Old Testament ethics--fully revised, updated and expanded since its first appearance in 1983 as \u003ci\u003eLiving as the People of God\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eAn Eye for an Eye\u003c\/i\u003e in North America) and including material from \u003ci\u003eWalking in the Ways of the Lord\u003c\/i\u003e--Wright examines a theological, social and economic framework for Old Testament ethics. Then he explores avariety of themes in relation to contemporary issues: economics, the land and the poor; politics and a world of nations; law and justice; society and culture; and the way of the individual.This fresh, illuminating study provides a clear basis for abiblical ethic that is faithful to the God of both Testaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristopher J.
