New Testament Ethics (Revisiting The Moral Vision of the New Testament)

A bold reexamination of a landmark study in biblical ethics

Thirty years ago, Richard Hays’s The Moral Vision of the New Testament transformed how scholars, pastors, and students approached biblical ethics. Now a distinguished group of biblical scholars returns to this foundational work with new questions and contemporary urgency.

This volume brings together senior and emerging New Testament scholars for a robust scholarly conversation with real-world implications. The contributors grapple seriously with Hays’s enduring influence while charting new territories in biblical ethics—always with an eye toward how Scripture speaks to the moral challenges that Christians face today.

New Testament Ethics doesn’t merely commemorate a classic work; it propels the conversation forward, demonstrating that the relationship between ancient Scriptures and contemporary conscience remains as vital as ever. This is biblical ethics for a new generation, rooted in serious scholarship and committed to engaging with the most pressing moral questions of our time.
