Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Printing. 275 Pages Indexed. This book sketches the beginnings of that process by which there eventually emerged the whole intricate fabric of sensibilities-perceptions, beliefs, and practices-that we call Christian morality. Superficially it may be mistaken for another in the large genre usually called "New Testament ethics" or "early Christian ethics," but this book is not one of those, for reasons to be explained in the first chapter. The reader will find here no answers to such piecemeal and historically naive questions as, What do the early Christians teach us about abortion? or What is the New Testament's stand on homosexuality? or Ought Christians to be pacifists? Nor do I attempt to discover the central principles on which a system of early Christian ethics is based. If there was a system, it was an enormously complex one that defies reduction to basic rules or underlying principles. Rather, I have attempted in the following pages to lead the reader on a journey of exploration. The object of our quest is what Peter Brown has called, in a different context, "the ecology of moral notions."? The purpose of our journey is to attempt to construct a kind of ethnography of Christian beginnings. The book began as a series of lectures, most immediately the Speaker's Lectures at Oxford University in 1990 and 1991. I am deeply indebted to the Faculty of Theology for having invited me to be the Speaker's Lecturer and for their warm hospitality during several delightful spring weeks in Oxford. To the staff of Christ Church and members of the Senior Common Room I am grateful for the comforts of college rooms, a splendid table and outstanding cellar, and many pleasant conversations. Many individuals made my stay memorable; I can single out only a few by name: Maurice and Paddy Wiles, to whom this book is dedicated as a small token of long friendship, Ernest Nicholson, Ed Sanders, Robert Morgan, Geza and Pam Vermes, Christopher Rowland, and Becky Gray.
