What Are Biblical Values?: What the Bible Says on Key Ethical Issues

Collins highlights how the Bible has a dialogue with itself in many areas. He also points out how the Bible occasionally has ideals higher than those that it meets in practice. His is a respectful yet provocative discussion. He celebrates the diversity of a book that was written by many authors over hundreds of years, and yet provides the basis for both the deepest levels of the Christian and the Jewish traditions.

I love to hear Prof. Collins lectures but many of his books are written in such an academic prose that it is hard to follow sometimes. This book is much more enjoyable to read. Easily understandable and published by Yale University Press! I would give it 6 stars if I could.

Very enjoyable open minded book. Presented in a balanced easy to read style. I would recommend it to people who seriously consider the issues that are outlined throughout the book.

This book is so timely and well written that I recommended it to the congregation I serve as a resource they should have on their shelf. It is a well written, well supported, and thought-provoking. An instant classic and a must-read for those who seek guidance from scripture on modern issues.

The scholarship is extremely sound. And it is written so masterfully that it is accessible to all. This is probably one of the best books on the Bible that I’ve read in a long time.
