Hering investigates the theological and ethical motivation that informs the controversial New Testament household codes (\u003ci\u003eHaustafeln\u003c\/i\u003e) found in the epistles to the Colossians (3:18-4:1) and Ephesians (5:22-6:9). Within most New Testament scholarship, the household code has been regarded as an imported element within its host letter, reflecting either pagan or embarrassingly sub-Christian values. Is the household code merely a nod to the pragmatic demands of culture, or can it be understood as a reflection of the author's theological concerns? What can it teach us today? Hering provides a unique analysis of these passages, revealing the \u003ci\u003eHaustafeln\u003c\/i\u003e in their historical context and examining their theological roots. This book is of vital importance for courses on Christian ethics and New Testament backgrounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47585674494103,"sku":"9780820495057","price":12932.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780820495057.webp?v=1774961261","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-colossian-and-ephesian-haustafeln-in-theological-context-an-analysis-of-their-origins-relationship-and-message-9780820495057","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
