Go Back
Book of Matthew as an example: sharp antithesis between law of God through Jewish culture and law declared through Jesus (although former still holds a validity ie. Matt 5:17)
-values of Matthew's concern are values of life in Chrstian spirtual community
-Biblicists find a place next to spiritualists in this family
This type more developed in later times Didache, the Epistle of Barnabus, the Epistle to Dognetus, and similar; Tertullian -Christians a new people with new law / duty of a holy life
-seperation from true ethics in Christ from false ethics n the world is saught with otherworldly direction
-often role which secular culture has played in the selection & interpretation is denied (ie Tolstoy).
