About This Course
What could the Old Testament teach us about how best to live our lives? This is the central question of A Survey of Old Testament Ethics with Dr. John Goldingay.
Ethics is not merely about tricky situations or hot topics. Instead, ethics asks questions about what sort of people we are, how we think, what sort of things we do and don’t do, and how we ought to live our everyday lives. This Survey of Old Testament Ethics course is based on Dr. Goldingay’s recent book by InterVarsity Press, Old Testament Ethics: A Guided Tour, along with other independent writings from Dr. Goldingay. It features Goldingay’s own translation of the Old Testament and discussion questions for further reflection.
