| Description: |
The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes brings together biblical studies and ethics to help students gain a fuller understanding of these two important biblical passages-both what the text meant historically, and what it means today. It is an excellent introduction to Christian ethics focusing on two well-known passages. |
| Synopsis: |
The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes are often considered significant texts for the Christian moral life. However, most interpretations of these passages either focus on the original meaning of the text or how the texts should impact ordinary living today. In The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes Yiu Sing Lucas Chan brings together biblical studies and Christian ethics to look at these foundational texts in a new way. For each passage Chan asks both what the texts meant and what they mean today. He helps readers to carefully study the text's original meaning, then interpret the text within a sound ethical framework. The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes is an excellent introduction to key concepts in biblical studies and Christian ethics that combines sound study with warmth and wisdom. |
