Richard Hays shows how the New Testament provides moral guidance on the most troubling ethical issues of our time, including violence, divorce, homosexuality and abortion. 'Hays' passionately written book, with its bold agenda, has neither peer nor rival.' ––Leander E. Keck, Winkley Professor of Biblical Theology, Yale Divinity School 'There are few people I would rather read for the actual exposition of the New Testament than Richard Hays. This book is filled with wonderful readings that not only inform us about how to think better about the so–called 'problem of the relation between the New Testament and ethics' but, even more, speak of how our lives should be lived in the light of Christ's cross. –Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Studies, Duke University Divinity School 'Richard Hays has succeeded brilliantly in bringing New Testament studies, contemporary theology, and ethics into a deeply reflective conversation... Hays' point is that the New Testament norms the Christian life, and, with the help of imagination and metaphor, can address the moral conflicts of our time.' ––Ellen T. Charry, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University 'This book isn't just a breath of fresh air. It's a hurricane, blowing away the fog of half–understood pseudo–morality and fashionable compromise, and revealing instead the early Christian vision of true humanness and genuine holiness. If this isn't a book for our time, I don't know what is.' ––N. T. Wright, author of The New Testament and the People of God Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Ethics from an honest man Writers on ethics almost universally share a common problem. They aren't honest about there own struggles to embody the morals that they put forward. I greatly appreciate Hays honestly in facing the challenges of New Testament ethics without retreating into impersonal abstractions. Hays is honest, personal and direc while working through his subject with a high degree of scholarly excellence. It's rare to find such personal presence in a writer of high academic achievement. I must ... Read More Rating: - Great book I am taking an Independent Studies class with a professor at my high school. We are using this book as a primary source of information to create a Christian ethical response to Genetic Research. This book sets a great basis for understanding and interpretting an ethical Christian response. Rating: - Excellent, Balanced Book of NT Ethics Dr. Hays has a very balanced, comprehensive look at New Testament ethics. It is an excellent tool for students, educators and pastors. I have been challenged in my own understanding of ethics through reading this book. Rating: - Wanting for Authority Richard Hays has undertaken a highly important project. He is attempting to devise a system of morality for the modern era based on New Testament ethics. He approaches the subject systematically, attempting to discern what exactly it was that New Testament writers thought on a variety of subjects, from abortion to violence. Sometimes, his conclusions are exactly those of the writers themselves. However, on homosexuality, his conclusions are a bit forced. He does not seek to discourage it (though ... Read More Rating: - Comprehensive but flawed and frustrating Richard Hays does a commendable job of meticulous research about the New Testament witness to vital ethical issues. He attempts to demonstrate the continuing relevance and importance of the New Testament towards pressing contemporary issues like war/peace, sexuality, divorce and abortion. The greatest strength of Hays' book is that it is a comprehensive work of reference; he really gets into the detailed text of much of the New Testament. However, in my view, Hays' contemporary application ...
