The ongoing interaction with Jewish, Greco-Roman or early Christian traditions as well as with the social-historical context at large continuously transformed early Christian ethics. The volume proposes a dynamic model for studying culture and its various expressions in a society composed of several ethnic and religious groups. The contributions focus on specific transformations of ethics in key documents of early Christianity, or take a more comparative perspective pointing to similar developments and overlaps as well as particularities within early Christian writings, Hellenistic-Jewish writings, Dead Sea Scrolls and Jewish inscriptions.Studies in theology and religion ;v. 17.Christian ethicsHistoryEarly church, ca. 30-600JudaismHistoryPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.DEthicsGreeceReligionRomeReligionElectronic books.Christian ethicsHistoryJudaismHistoryEthics.241.09/015Henten J.
