Call Number: Library First Floor Reference REF BS680.E84 O94 2014ISBN: 9780190204860Publication Date: 2014"The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Bible and Ethics (OEBE) explores the intersection between biblical sources and ethical issues, both historical and modern, through extensive analytical and constructive treatments of a wide range of topics by leading biblical scholars and ethicists.
