Christian Ethics in History and the Present. The Ten Commandments and Evangelical-Lutheran Theology. By Sigurjón Árni Eyjólfsson.
The book Christian Ethics in History and the Present is divided into three main parts. The first part seeks to find a place for Christian ethics in the general ethical debate as an interpretation of the Ten Commandments. In addition, a brief overview of the position of the commandments in Scripture and in ethical debate from the time of the ancient church to our own day is given. This is followed by an overview of the history of the interpretation of Scripture, and finally an attempt is made to situate Christian ethics within the general ethical debate.
The second part of the book seeks to show how the world in which man lives and works is defined in the Old Testament, on the one hand in the first commandment and on the other in the first creation story of Genesis. In the message of Jesus, this thought is elaborated in more detail, including in the parable of the Good Samaritan. In it, to a certain extent, the content of Christian ethics crystallizes. Its history of interpretation is therefore traced, among other things, in the teachings of Icelandic scholars.
The third part of the work discusses the second and third commandments, dealing with what it means for man to be God's co-worker and representative on earth. This discussion is discussed in relation to people's ideas about Jesus as a model of moral behavior.
