Review
"After thirty years' research and writing on Old Testament ethics, Chris Wright has brought his conclusions together in this comprehensive and readable textbook. It is truly a magnum opus and should be at the top of the reading list for any student, teacher, minister or layperson interested in the relevance of the first part of the Bible to modern ethical issues."--David L. Baker, Tyndale House, Cambridge"Chris Wright has been one of the most significant writers on Old Testament ethics over recent decades. In a unique way he combines commitment to listening openly to the Old Testament as Scripture, reflectiveness over questions of method, and clarity as a writer. It is excellent that he has been able to stand back and rework so much of his important work into this definitive volume."--John Goldingay, Fuller Theological Seminary"Whether Wright's conclusions become the consensus opinion of the next generation obviously remains to bge seen, but I can't imagine future discussion of the issue ignoring the well-thought out arguments laid out in this book."--Phil Sumpter, Chrisendom, August 22, 2008"This is a wonderful book by an impressive scholar of the 1st Testament. In a culture that often cares little about social justice, the poor, and/or personal financial ethics, this book gives us a sobering look into the social requirements that God expected his people live by in the Old Testament. It is always a treat to find an author who has a great combination of scholarship and writing skill. I believe Christopher Wright is one such author, who has found a way to make his wonderful scholarship both informative and a joy to read. I would highly recommend this book."--On Thoughts From a Young, Slightly Cantankerous, Aspiring Theologian blog, February 3, 2008?Wright has fully revised and updated his two earlier books on Old Testament ethics, and has integrated them into one edition. The result is his fullest expression of the fruit of many years of reflection and study on the authority and relevance of Old Testament Scripture to Christian ethics."--Evangelical Review of Theology, July 2007"Remarkably balanced, sensitive, and thorough . . . A fine resource not only for the educator, but also for the pastor."--Missiology, January 2006

The power of Old Testament Ethics for the People of God lies in its ability to make clear not only why Old Testament ethics are relevant in modernity, but how. The why is predicated on the authority of the whole cannon of Scripture, so that the whole interprets the part, and there results a balanced consideration of both the Old and New Testaments. The how is depicted in its practical, everyday application to the theological, political, economic, moral, civil, and social realms. Wright doesn’t do anything “new†by constructing any radical and innovative theories about the Old Testament simply to satisfy modern sensibilities. Rather, he meticulously shines a light on the principles and foundational ethics that have been staring us in the face all along. What the reader walks away with is a fresh, new understanding of the Old Testament that will persuade you to look back to the Law in order to look forward to Christ and grow your faith.The basic motivation that Wright uses to analyze OT ethics is to reveal the underlying principle that animates the moral code. These principles are then extrapolated to reveal how they applied in the tribal, agrarian, ancient Israelite society, and how the same principles apply to modernity. By implication, this debunks the myth that the OT was a mere historical era that has no cotemporary relevance; it also steers us away from segregating the law into distinct categories and then choosing which ones are pertinent. Ultimately, the book leads us out of the darkness of confusion and into an embracing light of understanding that is unafraid to ask deep, probing, and critical questions. Even more, this approach clarifies how OT ethics informs our understanding of environmental stewardship, economics, “chosen-nessâ€, Zionism, secular law, family life and social interactions as a whole. It also successfully addresses difficult topics such as war, the death penalty for certain offenses, and slavery. In my personal opinion, the chapter on Justice and Righteousness (8) is brilliant and will forever change the way one thinks about secular law and the legal system.Old Testament Ethics for the People of God was recommended to me by a well-respected and very well-read seminary professor, and I am tremendously grateful for the wisdom and insight provided in this marvelous book. It is my opinion that any Christian serious about Bible study or who demands a rigorous, considerate analysis of Old Testament ethics must read this book. This is a soaring beacon of theological light so important that your understanding of the Bible will be incomplete without it. Highest possible recommendation and for the works of Christopher J.H. Wright in general.
I was first tuned into Chris Wright by his The Mission of God, (c. 2006) and I've not been disappointed since. He's likely the most accessible OT scholar alive today. That's a claim by a 'lay-theologian.' I'm certainly not up on the longer list of names which are seeking to keep abreast of current theology/philosophy in the OT genres, just perusing the accessible writings on a basic OT theology. He seems aware of this greater collection of writings but his style is articulate, seems comprehensive, and certainly brings back to life a significant section of Scripture which, for the bulk of the 20th century had been--by "evangelical scholarship" relegated to heavy spiritualizing and/or Messianic prophecies--at least from an American perspective. I have found that as an Evangelical, some of my best theology mentors have come from the other side of the Atlantic, especially from the U.K., thinking of Chris, but also N.T. Wright.This is a foundational document--as is The Mission of God--in tying the primary themes of the O.T., their relation to ethics for the people of God in any age, and to the mission of the people of God, especially in this age. Thank you, Chris, for your hard work on this another volume which brings glory to God, as any good scholarship should.
This is a book that helps you understand the interrelationship between the Old Testament and New Testament ethics.
Great book and covers many different subjects like the importance of human life, economics, land, government, caring for your neighbor etc.
Wright's work is a masterful approach to this important subject. I will use this book for a fundamental basis of study in biblical ethics.
This is a goldmine!!! Absolutely must read it!
Excellent dissertation on the Old Testament and Ethics. While it is definitely on a scholarly level, it's wihtout a doubt an easy read.
This is a very broad and difficult topic, yet the author deals with it with such clarity. Not an easy read, but rewarding.
