{"product_id":"9781490853154","title":"Traditional Christian Ethics: Volume Three: Affirmative or Positive Commandments L-Z","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional Christian Ethics features two exhaustive alphabetical lists of affirmative commandments and prohibitions from the earliest Christian ethics, as found in writers before the mass apostasy of 249-251 AD. The affirmatives, or positives, list consists of what Christians are\/were commanded or encouraged to do. The other list is of negatives or prohibitions, i.e. what Christians are\/were discouraged from doing, similarly arranged. The source material for the work encompasses far more than the ten-volume Ante-Nicene Fathers edited by Roberts and Donaldson. It also draws from all writings of the period: Christian, Jewish, and pagan, available in English or French translation, plus a few Latin translations. Some translations have been published only in scholarly journals, and some only in the twenty-first century. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVolumes Two and Three form a single exhaustive alphabetical list of affirmative commandments or precepts, including mental attitudes, i.e. what Christian ethics commanded or encouraged according to writers on Christian ethics before 250 AD.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUsing earlier drafts of this set of books, Dr. Brattston’s articles and booklets synthesizing early and contemporary Christianity have been published by a wide variety of denominations and ministries in every major English-speaking country.  He hopes readers will use them as a starting-point for writing articles, papers, and sermons of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WestBowPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144941158640,"sku":"9781490853154","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781490853154_p0.jpg?v=1763657865","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781490853154","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
