About the Book

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. Combining traditional theoretical frameworks, such as comparative religion, with more recent approaches (postmodern, queer and gender theory, etc.), the OEBE provides a landmark reference overview of everything from ethics in books of the Bible to modern movements and hot-button issues, such as capital punishment, bioethics, and abortion. The two-volume Encyclopedia contains over 180 entries ranging in length from 1,000 to 7,000 words. With bibliographic references and suggestions for further reading, each entry provides a thorough introduction to the topic that will be of use to scholars and students alike. Given its contemporary resonance and detailed summary of current scholarship, the OEBE offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary starting point for research.

Brawley also served as co-chair of the Character Ethics and Biblical Interpretation Group of the Society of Biblical Literature.

Review :
"OEBE editor-in-chief Robert L. Brawley and his team have managed to acquire a remarkable breadth of scholarship for writing this two-volume encyclopedia and to ensure that most of the articles give due attention to both corpora that are mentioned in its title: the Bible and ethics...OEBE provides thorough introductions and thoughtful discussions--it is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary starting point for research on ethical topics belonging to a broad array of categories that is valuable for scholars and students alike."--Review of Biblical Literature "The encyclopedia is a rich resource for study of the Bible in connection with both historical and current ethical concerns...[T]his collection of probes on Bible and ethics has much to offer persons who take seriously both Scripture and the seemingly intractable contemporary ethical challenges we face."--Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology "A much-needed resource in this relatively new field...It is clear that a great deal of care and planning went into the selection of topics for these two volumes....This important publication for fostering the conversation in these fields will be a welcome addition to the scholarly reference shelf. An excellent resource that will be consulted by undergraduate, graduate, experienced scholars, and those wishing to enter into the discussion." -- Library Journal "[T]he average user will find a perfect balance between information overload and underload. There is easily enough content and data to satisfy academics doing research but not so much to overwhelm the casual reader." -- Wade Osburn, Booklist "It is easy to see how this work will be useful to a variety of users. The roster of contributors is lengthy and impressive... Highly recommended." --CHOICE
