	Ethics and Moral in the Bible
		Moral values that are rooted in God's Word, the Bible, and that have long been widely accepted as a guide for what is right and what is wrong are being pushed aside.
		Ethics is a system of moral principles: the ethics of a culture.
		The closest Hebrew term in the Old Testament for “ethics,” “virtue” or “ideals” is the word musar, “discipline” or “teaching” (Proverbs 1:8) or even derek, “way or path” of the good and the right.

	Ethics in the Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ethics is the branch of philosophy which examines the question of what actions are morally right or wrong--and why.
		Ethics in the Bible therefore examines these prescriptions, as well as the related issues of whether these are consistent throughout the Bible; whether they really do describe a superior ethical teaching; and what the underlying meta-ethical principles are.
		The Bible and homosexuality are difficult to reconcile.

	Criticism of the Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In modern times, the view that the Bible must be accepted as historically accurate and reliable has come under attack from feminists, gay rights groups, and skeptics in general, as well as from a large group of mainstream academics in the field of Biblical Criticism, such as Israel Finkelstein and Richard Elliott Friedman.
		While some religious groups support the Bible's decisions by reminding critics that they should be judged by the standards of the time, to which they measure much more closely, other religious groups, mostly conservatives and particularly Southern Baptists, see nothing wrong with the Bible's judgements.
		The bible appears to make several statements contradicting modern common knowledge, such as lions killing via strangulation, buildings being able to catch plagues of leprosy, and lions at some point becoming herbivores, and eating straw.

	Bible and Ethics
		If one browses through the Bible ingenuously and superficially one cannot but notice that there is not only a great historical and cultural, but also a considerable moral divide between the values and standards that obtain in today’s society on the one hand and those of Israel and the early Christian community on the other.
		Even within the Bible itself we find charitable interpretations of the harsh apodeictic command, where the rule is not applied according to the letter but according to the spirit of equity.
		The Bible no longer serves, as it did for mankind in the Middle Ages, as a pair of glasses through which to read the world, but the other way around, modern man now reads the Bible using the knowledge that is supplied by a scientific world view.

		From the point of view of theistic religions, to the extent that ethics stems from revealed truth from divine sources, ethics is studied as a branch of theology.
		Ethics in systematic form, and apart from religious belief, is as little found in apocryphal or Judæo-Hellenistic literature as in the Bible.
		Hindu ethics are related to Hindu beliefs, such as reincarnation, which is a way of expressing the need for reciprocity, as one may end up in someone else's shoes "in a future life".

	Ethics in the Bible Ethics
		Ethics in the Bible therefore examines these prescriptions, as well as the related issues of whether these are consistent throughout the Bible; whether they really do describe a superior ethical teaching; and what the underlying meta-ethicalprinciples are.
		The books of the Hebrew Bible(Old Testament) cover a period of many centuries and reflect a rich variety of conditions and beliefs, ranging from the culture of ancient nomadic shepherd tribes to the refinement of life and law of an urban population, from primitive clan henotheism to the ethical monotheism of the prophets.
		Many say: The Bible states that God created mankind in his image, but at the same time it goes on to imply that humanity is low and vile based on the original sinof Adam and Eve.

	ETHICS - Holman Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org
		The Biblical Definition of Ethics is Connected With Doctrine The problem with trying to speak about the ethics of the Bible is that ethical contents are not offered in isolation from the doctrine and teaching of the Bible.
		Ethics is a response to grace in love not a response to demand in fear.
		The ethic which Scripture demands and approves has the holiness of the Godhead as its standard and fountainhead, love to God as its impelling motivation, the law of God as found in the Decalogue and Sermon on the Mount as its directing principle, and the glory of God as its governing aim.

	Introduction to Christian ethics
		Ethics is that bit of our Christian faith which is concerned with how we act, it is the study of behaviour.
		In this case, Christian ethics is a matter of conforming one’s conscience to the mind of the Church.
		Ethics of course is not a science, it is as much an art and it seems to demand that we are flexible and able to react to different situations in different ways.

		The Bible is not just one book, but an entire library, with stories, songs, poetry, letters and history, as well as literature that might more obviously qualify as 'religious'.
		The Hebrew Bible has 39 books, written over a long period of time, and is the literary archive of the ancient nation of Israel.
		The sheer diversity of literature in the Bible is one of the secrets of its continuing popularity through the centuries.

	Creating a Company Code of Ethics: Using the Bible as a Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Tamari (undated) uses the Bible to help develop what he refers to as a “Jewish business strategy.” This paper seeks to use the Bible to develop a code of ethics that can be used by any firm.
		The Bible (Leviticus 25: 43) states: “You shall not rule over him through rigorous labor.” The Midrashic (Sifra, Leviticus 86; Midrash Hagadol, Leviticus 25: 39) explanation of this verse is that one should not ask his servant to perform unnecessary labor simply to assert one’s authority.
		The Bible states (Deuteronomy 11: 15): “And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you shall eat and be satisfied.” Using this verse, the Talmud derives the law that one is prohibited from eating before providing food for his or her animal (Babylonian Talmud, Berachos 40a).

	EJBO - Electronic Journal of Business Ethics and Organization Studies
		The Bible is the most popular book of all time - it is estimated that as many as 6 billion copies have been sold - and is the source of many metaphors and scenarios that can be very helpful to those interested in developing a belief system to guide their organization.
		The Hebrew Bible, particularly the Pentateuch (i.e., the Torah), is replete with precepts that deal with business ethics and can therefore be used as a starting point for those interested in developing higher moral standards for business.
		The Bible forbids the muzzling of an ox [or any animal] when it is working the field (Deuteronomy 25: 4) because this causes the animal to suffer.

		It was not enough that I had said that the Bible and church tradition "resolutely and unequivocally condemn homosexuality".
		Either ethics is derived from the social and cultural context a social construct and, therefore, if the people or a community decide that homosexuality is immoral, then that should be accepted.
		If ethics is derived from individual whims and fancy; if ethics can be grounded individualistically; if feelings justify expression, then homosexuality could be right.

	The Ethics of Interpreting the Bible
		But the idea that the bible must be interpreted "politically" would not go over particuarly well in any church that I've ever attended.
		Second, I have a major problem understanding Schussler Fiorenza, as she writes in that special version of English that is as far as I know exclusive to american academics.
		In response to Childs and as a bit of a segue, one thing we might want to reflect on is the way in which both Biblical Theology as Childs considers it, and Ethics of Biblical Interpretation as Schussler Fiorenza consider it, succeed as second order discourses on the Bible.

		The Bible cannot be read, therefore, simply as a collection of documents with a variety of sources written on the different occasions and expressing the authors' contrasting insights.
		Sacred Tradition is expressed in a privileged way in the Bible, but the Bible cannot be understood except in the context of the living faith of the Christian community as it exists through time down to the present moment.
		One can admit that the Bible is androcentric in that it was written principally by men not women, but that does not and cannot mean that it fails to tell us what God meant the relation of men and women to be when he created them "in his own image, male and female: (Gn 1:27).
